So, I told the clerk at the 7-11 that I wanted $5 worth of gas...

[benburch]

...so he farted, and gave me a receipt.

1. I should laugh, but it's too painfully truthful to laugh

Thank the gods I get 50-55 mph..... because even that's killing me.

[Roland99]

2. Are you here all week?

:)

[benburch]

5. Please remember to tip your waitress!

They have a hard job.

[NJ Democrats]

3. $5?

What's that a gallon and a half?

[Bucky]

6. A rather impressive fart then

Juicy I'm imagining, but a really good store clerk would at least have pointed it toward your car.

4. Air pollution. n/t

[Bucky]

7. Guy at church today who studies energy policy says it'll by $10 by 2010

Someone else said he'd read that a prominent social psychologist with a good track record for predictions says that $3/gallon is the psychological point at which most of society starts taking conservation and alternative feuls seriously. Problem is, I remember when people said that about $2 a gallon.

9. It'll be $3 by Memorial Day.

Anybody want a piece? (To be fair you should know it's already $3 in the bay area)

[REP]

11. Naw, It's Only $2.86 Here

"only"

[benburch]

12. I wonder how long before people will have to move to afford commuting?

And I wonder what that will do to the already shaky housing market?

13. Back when I lived in California, the High Desert , Victorville,

people bought in the area because they could get more house for their money. They commuted to jobs "down the hill", San Bernardino, Orange Country and farther. I bet those people are crying big time over the price of gas. My brother lives in Victorville but works in Lucerne Valley. His commute is approx. 70 miles round trip, his wife works for San Bernardino County and drives up to Big Bear, also. Their gas bill is killing them.

[Montagnard]

8. Oh, that is the best laugh I have had all weekend

[benburch]

10. You are SO welcome! nt

[walldude]

14. LMAO... took me a minute to get it. Little slow tonight.

Thanks Ben, you have once again demonstrated the difference between us and them. A sense of humor.

[buzzard]

15. Gas in Canada at todays exchange rate with the USD is about 3.25US and has

been higher in past months.

[pitohui]

16. yeah but

min. wage in canada is not $5.30 an hour with no health benefits

[SammyWinstonJack]

17. Exactly!

[benburch]

18. Canadian companies can afford higher wages...

...because all the health care comes from the State.

[flygal]
