In addition to providing customers with gas, snacks and drinks, some convenience stores give their customers a dose of humor via signs. One store representative said about the c-store’s silly signs: “It’s easy to think of useful messages to put on the sign for things like service promotions and store specials and the like,” but the store wanted to do something different. Some of the clever messages include:

• “Do not trust atoms. They make up everything.”
• “The past, future and present walk into a bar. It was tense.”
• “Went to the Air and Space Museum, but there was nothing there.”
• “Ants are healthy because they have little antibodies.”
• “When man discovered milk, what was he doing to the cow? Half gal $2.69.”

Celebrity Sightings

‘Pon de Replay’ That Video. One Rihanna fan received the ultimate Christmas gift when he spotted her at a gas station in Barbados over the holiday. The pop star shot a sweet video with him, during which the fan said, “My Christmas just got made merry.” Describing the circumstances of the run-in, Rihanna said they were “at a random gas station. We’re not even buying gas. We’re not even driving.” She ended the video with a shout-out to her home country, screaming “Barbados!” to the camera.

Fueling Style. Even celebrities pump their own gas—but not without doing it in style of course. Selma Blair was photographed striking a pose next to a fuel pump at a Los Angeles gas station. She wore an all-black outfit that included a sweater, speckled skirt, tights, ankle boots and a black face mask to match, completing the look with red sunglasses. She fueled up her white SUV before meeting her boyfriend, Ron Carlson, for coffee.
