ANSWER: L.T.Q. #2

Date: Thursday, June 22, 1995 2:29PM

Here is this week's question:

Shadow drove into the Speedy Service Station and pulled up to the pumps. "Fill it up, please," said Shadow. "This may sound strange," said the owner, "but I'd rather fill two cars from out of town than one car from this town." Shadow looked across the small town and replied, "I know just what you mean." Why would the owner feel this way?

ANSWER:

The owner would rather fill two cars from anywhere than one car from town because he would make twice the amount of money.

Did you get caught on this one?
