    For anyone who does not know, 1 ton = 2,000 pounds.

    Just met this girls sister or very close relative.
    I had just finished fueling and pulled forward. Gone into the Love's in Shelby, IA, exit 34, to get some coffee, couple of snacks for the road and my fuel receipt.
    I'm at the fuel counter chatting with the young guy and gal when this young lady walks in, couldn't been but 23 maybe 24.
    Now mind you, I didn't see what kind of truck she was driving. She was on the other side of a propane truck and a reefer.
    She walks up to the fuel desk, and I kid you not,asks the guy if he could show her how to fuel.
    I bit my tongue to keep from laughing, and the guy and I looked at each other with a snicker and that kind of Bill Engvall dumbfounded Here's Your Sign look.
    He turned back to the young lady to get more info.
    The young lady, then with a bit of disdain said she couldn't figure out how to fuel. The hose was on the left and her tank was on the right, and the hose wouldn't reach.
    The young man tried to politely explain that she just simply had to lay the master line on the ground, walk around the truck, flip on the satellite and fuel.
    But we could tell, the more he tried to explain, the more confused she became, almost like he was speaking ancient Greek or Hebrew.
    You could see the air just slip out of her head in a grey cloud of confusion.
    He politely excused himself and let her out to the fuel island.
    When they left, the girl at the fuel counter and i, couldn't help but cut loose with a hearty laugh.
