Somehow, I couldn't quite summon sympathy...
I was talking to a friend in Mississippi about gas prices and here was her response:

It is $2.84 in (insert Mississippi town here) and it SUCKS!! When I first got my H3 back in November it was only like $45 to fill up now it is around $60!! Oh and did I mention I have to fill up every 3 to 4 days???


Yes, yes, you read that right. She drives a Hummer. That she just got in November.

Oh, and did I mention she's a Bush-loving Republican? (as if a Hummer driver could be anything else...)

:nopity:

1. I'd love to see an anti-W bumpersticker on a Hummer
I would laugh twice as hard at the driver.

2. You have a friend who is a Bush-loving, Hummer-driving Republican?
I hope you find a way to yank her chain good and hard...

4. I didn't say she was a CLOSE friend
But yes, she's well aware of my liberalness. We generally avoid political discussions. ;)

6. I'm surprised. I thought only men were stupid enough to drive Hummers to compensate...
for a small penis.

12. I saw a lady driving one the other day
I was trying to get into a parking lot, and her massive gas-guzzling behemoth was in the way.
Why would anyone want to drive one of those ugly-ass monsters? It's totally beyond me...

15. Verily.
I love how she was all "and it used to be ONLY $45!!" And then "AND I HAVE TO FILL UP EVERY 10 SECONDS!!"

Duh. What the hell did you expect at 3mpg?

Meanwhile, gas in my area is a good 60 cents/gallon more and I'm bitching about $40/tank, that I refill about every 3 weeks. :shrug:

:hi:

11. I'd have gone Nelson Muntz on her.
HA-HA!

Then I'd have gotten pissed because of her selfishness.

Laughed my ass of, then went "serves you right, you stupid bitch."

But only in my head, of course. :angel:
