1. Let's guess she won't go to jail because of how "important" her job is?

3. I hate cutting in line as much as anybody, but I would have contented

myself with keying the cutter's car........

A TIRE IRON???????

4. In a civilized society

people will patiently wait their turn in line. This is just a meeting of two uncivilized people.

5. People who cut in line are assholes and it

happens all too frequently, but it isn't worth grabbing a tire iron over. Both parties were in the wrong.

6. They're calling it "Gas Rage." We'll probably see much more of it as prices rise.

7. Cutting into line before the next raise in price?
