Will Smith Once Fleeced A ‘Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air’ Fan For 10 Bucks When He Ran Out Of Gas

Everybody knows that once that gas light lights up, you have 8,291 miles until you need a refill. I’ve tested this theory in high school when I didn’t have a pot to piss in, and I think as a society we underestimate the resilience of our vehicles.

Will Smith, however, decided to play it safe and fill up when his whip gave him a warning 30 miles out from his home and it birthed a highly entertaining story about the power of fandom.

Smith, who self-admittedly loves the spotlight, approached a 30-ish year old dude at the gas station who he exchanged a picture with Smith for $10 worth of gas money. Smith fleeced the dude, considering five bucks would have done the trick, but Big Willy must be broke by now from perpetually funding his son Jaden’s dead-end career.

He’s going to need a raise in his allowance.

Matt’s love of writing was born during a sixth grade assembly when it was announced that his essay titled “Why Drugs Are Bad” had taken first prize in D.A.R.E.’s grade-wide contest. The anti-drug people gave him a $50 savings bond for his brave contribution to crime-fighting, and upon the bond’s maturity 10 years later, he used it to buy his very first bag of marijuana.
