You want Humor out of "GASOLINE PRICES". For most people there is no humor. I guess if you drove a little Geo and saw a big Hummer filling its tank for over 100 bucks you'd laugh. Gas is so bad its getting to the point were everybodys driving those motor scooters around. "Gas prices on the rise again, back to you Bob". Martha's telling her eighty year old husband to strap a helmet and hop on a scooter to pick up there prescriptions. Some places you even see for there prices they put down an Arm and a Leg, have you seen this. Wouldnt that be something though because im sure we would give it some thought. Farmer john pulls up to the tank. "Is that true an Arm and a Leg sir?, Because with these prices i could lose them limbs and then go buy new ones and have some left over money i recon. I saw this one guy on the news who's house caught on fire. A fire that started from storing gasoline in his bedroom closet! How bad are they making this. People cancelling trips that have been planned for yearly. Do as i would do and board a boat and go through the waters. With gas prices as high as they are it would be alot cheaper to have it shipped rather then drive. You know what i find funny to. The middle east where we recieve our oils from, notice they dont drive as much as we do! They are out there hoppin on cammels. A money saver right there. And do you know what the gasoline price is for them. A couple grass here and there and some water. You know what trick i've learned works to, you can thank the gas stations for this one. If you are driving with an elder and they are really to old to focus on much what your gonna do is pull the green.I Pulled up to a gas pump and told mrs.greene to hand me a fifty. I Walked to the clerk and said 25 on pump 6. I Pumped the gas and just zipped it, because half way down the road there she just said, "You know its really rediculous how much gas prices have gone up, look at this i put 50 dollars in and and bearly got half a tank". "You know back in my day". If i was homless i would stock up gas and just sell for cheaper. Imagine gas becomes an issue on the street. "Sir, Sir drop the bucket", the cop runs in and tackles the man. "Yea we need back up, weve got a 10,22". As a mans bucket of gas spills covering the side walk. I love how people follow the gas prices daily to that cracks me up. You know it just changes like a see-saw. Hear people saying, "Yay gas went down a cent", which first of all what the hell is a cent? Imagine a parent in a store, "no timmy put that candy bar down, its 80 cents". "Get the one next to it, about 2 times smaller and its only 79 cents". Any ways people chant the gas goes down, and the next day its back up a couple more cents than it was. Now you have them even madder. I love seeing the families riding around on the bikes again. Some with them double seats mabe even triples. I havnt seen this kind of family bond since the brady bunch. OMG, the prices of gas brought back micheal and carol!. But also have brought family's apart. Can you imagine the arguments. First moms addicted to smokes and tickets, and now her husbands comming home smelling gas on her hands. "How much did you put in judy". "Just 20.00, but please dont leave me". As hes walking away, "hints" i said walking because he cant even afford to pump the gas.
