Could not resist - the guy quoted below need to moderate his appetite along with his 15mpg vehicle. :D

I fill my car with 50 dollars worth of gas. I drive to the store to buy a 6 dollar bag of beef jerky. It takes me 3 dollars to go 14 miles to buy the jerky. I eat it all before I get home so I must go back to the store to buy more jerky for 6 dollars. Again it costs me 3 dollars in gas. I finish the jerky just as I arrive at home only to get an upset stomach from 1/2 pound of dried beef swelling in my stomach. I now have to spend another 3 dollars in gas to buy a 7 dollar bottle of Rolaids. This 1 hour of my life cost me 28 dollars. With the price of gas these days I think its time to give up on beef jerky. Another pleasure gone due to gas prices.


Is there a problem here?

The Gong Show in the 1970's featured people doing very idiotic things

CNN reader Michael Harrison, Mesquite, Texas[/B]"]Regarding the price of gasoline: If everyone would boycott Exxon, then Exxon would have to lower its prices, and others would follow. The old price wars would start. If not, keep boycotting Exxon. Give it a try.

Last week I got a chain e-mail on this very nonsense. I'm not for sure prices would plunge even if overnight everyone started to drive compact cars, ride bikes, mass transit, walk, etc...
