i had a pump once that i think was possessed! i stopped to buy this wayne #70 on a farm, it had nice firestone faces & firestone ad glass. the whole pump was nice! i knocked & asked about the pump. the guy said just a minute & called someone on the phone. he yelled at me how much you payin? i just blurted out 35.bucks!!?? the guy said ok,ok,ok! to whoever was on the phone, hung up & then he came shootin out the door like he was in a hurry. ok he says to me lets get it unhooked. i was there a total of about 1 1/2 minutes by now. im thinkin alllllright this is how things should be!! i open the pump doors he goes to make sure power was off. i unhook wires. & start wrenchin. the only piece of cracked glass in the whole pump falls out of the door & down my hand! not much of a cut luckily. it coulda been bad!!! thats when i realized i could do the ol spinerooo & spin the whole pump round & round till she loose, back up to it & load! i get home with it, back up to unload it but i leave it sittin awhile in the truck. i get some visitors & BS awhile. then decide to pull the pump outta the truck. i pull it out a ways and it starts to slide to the side??? & KAWHOOOOOM! lands flat on the floor before i knew what happened!!! SHOOOOOOOOOT!!!!!! i picked it up real fast & looked at my visitors & said did you hear anything?!! WHAT was that noise? i looked around like??? LOL!!! well it didnt do much damage it landed so flat. just exploded the site glass! anyway i restored that pump. i was puttin glass in the doors & my brother stopped by & was BSin while i put in glass. he was holdin glass up then he wasnt & that glass hit the floor! i cut another piece & installed it. then the neighbor walked over to visit with his little barefooted 4 or 5 yr. old son. well JR. walked right on the broken glass & left little red blood dots everywhere he walked around the garage. JR. was one of those real TUFF devil type children & could care less if feet were cut or not! well i sold that pump. the guy i sold it to entered it in ISCA judged car show & won best display!!! i felt pretty proud of myself after that! i was glad that pump was gone. i made my own signs for that pump outta 18ga.steel, cut round that said FAT BOB GASOLINE. i cleared those signs with sticky 20/20 clear & really laid it on so it was wavey like porcelain. it was a harley davidson pump with pinstriped flames up the sides. that was in 1995 & i sold that pump for $2800.00 i delivered it to new owner & he was a really nice guy we joked around awhile & somehow he shorted me 100.00 with all these 10s & 20s & 5s & just a minute ill get some more money, hold on ive gotta get somemore money over here stuff!!!!!??? im sure he wanted me to call him or stop back sometime & say hey man im feelin about 100 short & he woulda laughed he was kind of a joker. but oh wellll. i did real good on that pump even if it was possessed!
