[FONT=Arial]Trying to find something funny in the absurdity of it all …[/FONT]The price of Gas versus Printer Inkhttp://webmail.aol.com/36240/aol/en-us/Mail/get-attachment.aspx?uid=1.21467278&folder=NewMail&partId=14[COLOR=teal][B]
All these examples do NOT imply that gasoline is cheap; it just illustrates how outrageous some prices are…

You will be really shocked by the last one!
(At least, I was…)

This makes one think, and also puts things in perspective to other things we buy.

Ever wonder why printers are so cheap?[COLOR=purple]
So they have you hooked for the ink.
Someone calculated the cost of the ink at…
(you won’t believe it…but it is true…)
$5,200 a gal. (five thousand two hundred dollars)

So, the next time you’re at the pump ,be glad your car doesn’t run on water, Scope, or Whiteout, Pepto Bismol, Nyquil or God forbid, Printer Ink! [/COLOR]http://webmail.aol.com/36240/aol/en-us/Mail/get-attachment.aspx?uid=1.21467278&folder=NewMail&partId=27[COLOR=blue][B]
Just a little humor to help ease the pain of your next trip to the pump…

And - If you don’t pass this along to at least one person,
your muffler will fall off!!

Okay, your muffler won’t really fall off…but, you might run out of toilet paper
makes me want to :barf:

Holy giant fonts batman.

3

whats with people copy/pasting shitty e-mails lately?

I get this crap all day at work as it is.

4

I lost testosterone reading that font

5

ok, but lets think about it like this: how long does it take you to go through an ink cartridge? I do a good amount of printing and it takes me at least a month maybe more. do you really drink a gallon of mouthwash every day? i would hope not. if you took a gallon of nyquill you’d probably not be reading this cuz you would be dead. and people that pay for bottled water are just dumb. gas is something you use a lot of. so this comparison isnt even really a comparison at all if you think about it in real world terms.

Lets look at it this way, think of everything involved with the process of retreiving, shipping, refining, shipping again, labor, and who knows what else involved in the process.

Obviously there must be a union to blame somewhere. :mamoru:

But seriously, it’s relativly cheap in that sense. We are just finally catching up to the rest of the world in this I suppose.

Message was probably put out by XOM themselves :lol:

8

LETS ALL BOYCOTT! NO ONE BUY GAS TODAY!!!

:sigh:

9

OKAY! THIS WILL TOTALLY TAKE DOWN THE MIGHTY OIL EMPIRE.

10

I’ll put up a meet thread, so we can all fill our tanks tomorrow.

11

In!

12

I’ll make sure my tank is extra empty just for this event.

13

I will specifically make sure to buy gas on the day of the boycott.

14

which station around here has the most pumps, we could take over all of them

15

^ lol, the antiprotest would be great.

The funny thing is, if there is suddenly a huge queue of cars @ a station, sociology guarantees that there will be a number of sheep who get in line behind us.

16

Just like staring at a ceiling. :slight_smile:

17

Delta Sonic meet!

Delta Sonic meat?

18

Last night was the first time in my life i paid over $4 a gallon…it really made me sad :frowning:

especially since i know it won’t be the last…

19

pfft i pay 6$/gallon dont whine bitches

20

eh yep. I haven’t done that in years… but always worth a :lol:
