I couldn't help but think about this one when I saw the thread, talking about the weirdest thing they ever found in a fuel tank. Years ago in my home town, back in the days milk was shipped in milk cans. The dairy use to send calanders out to their farmer clients, and of all places in the returning empty milk can. We had a neighbor, spoke broken French-English. He didn't notice the calander, filled the can with milk and shipped it. Next day the dairy returned his can full of milk, no explanation.

He puts the cover back, put the can out for truck next morning along with several other cans. By h!@#$@$$ me, the can come back empty, I git paid. Another story I heard about a note tied to the returning milk can, "Mr. Jones, would you be so kind as to put the manure and milk in separate cans and we will mix as we see fit." Signed manager, Bordens Dairy. To which the farmer wrote back, " Dear Sir, your hand writing on our contract was so poor, I thought I was shipping you manure. It seemed like an awfully good price for manure, thus I thought I should add the milk, so as to allow you some chance for profit." Signed Farmer Jones.
