Retaliate Against High Gas Prices
May 14th 2007 20:35
Please Use Your Brain
There was pretty good response to my last column with Bush or a terrorist (is that redundant?) driving his 1962 Ford Fairlane off an aircraft carrier. - I thought that was pretty funny stuff; although, I did not get any responses back with new captions; I was hoping for some real creative stuff. Please look at the previous column & picture, I'm hoping that whoever reads this column (blog) comes up with some funny stuff and gets back to me so that I can pass it on.

BUT OF MUCH MORE IMPORTANCE: Today is May 14, 2007 - If we, as consumers are going to have any say in the exorbitant price of gas, we need to take affirmative action. Please fill your car up with gas TODAY (or at least as much as you can afford) and DO NOT BUY ANY GAS TOMORROW (May 15, 2007) or for as long afterward as you can manage.
I went fishing over the weekend, and as many of you fisherpeople know, sometimes you have a lot of time to think between bites (if you are lucky enough to get any). Anyway my point is: Just think what we can do to the dastardly oil companies if we were to boycott the gas pumps the 15th of every month, not just tomorrow. WOW!
This is going to become a crusade for me. I am going to pound and pound my point. To begin with DO NOT BUY GAS ON MAY 15, 2007, and thereafter do not ever buy gas on the 15th of any month. I believe if we can get some real support on this thing, we can bring the oil mongers to their knees. LET'S DO IT WORLDWIDE, FOLKS! We can make this work if every reader sends this article to at least 10 friends (or more) and request those 10 (or more) to forward it on to as many friends as they can, and on and on. This could become really big.

OK, now on to some lighter stuff:
From Maryann of Oakland: (I may have run this before (not sure), but it sure seems worth doing it again:
A man boarded an airplane and took his seat. As he settled in, he glanced up and saw the most beautiful woman boarding the plane. He soon realized she was heading straight towards his seat. As fate would have it, she took the seat right beside his.
Eager to strike up a conversation, he blurted out, "Business trip or pleasure?" She turned, smiled and said, "Business. I'm going to the Annual Nymphomaniacs of America Convention in Boston."
He swallowed hard. Here was the most gorgeous woman he had ever seen sitting next to him, and she was going to a meeting of nymphomaniacs. Struggling to maintain his composure, he calmly asked, "What's your business role at this convention?" "Lecturer," she responded. "I use information that I have learned from my personal experiences to debunk some of the popular myths about sexuality."
"Really?" he said. "And what kind of myths are there?"
"Well," she explained, "one popular myth is that African-American men are the most well-endowed of all men, when in fact it is the Native American Indian who is most likely to possess that trait. Another popular myth is that Frenchmen are the best lovers, when actually men of Jewish descent are the best. I have also discovered that the lover with absolutely the best stamina is the Southern Redneck.
Suddenly, the woman became a little uncomfortable and blushed. "I'm sorry," she said, "I shouldn't really be discussing all of this with you. I don't even know your name."
"Tonto," the man said, "Tonto Goldberg, but my friends call me Bubba.
Thanks Maryann for that funny, funny story.

And here's a funny from Scott G. of Oakland:
The Dumbest kid in the world?
A young boy enters the barber shop and the barber whispers to his customer, "See that kid who just came in? He's the dumbest kid in the world....Watch, and I'll prove it to you."
The barber puts a one dollar bill in one hand and a five dollar bill in the other, then calls the boy over and asks, "Which do you want, son?”
The boy remarks, "I'll take the one with the picture of George Washington on it; I don't know who the picture of that other guy is." He takes the one dollar bill and leaves.
"What did I tell you?" says the barber. "I've pulled that on him time-and-time again, but that kid never learns!"
Later, after he leaves, the barber's customer sees the same young boy coming out of an ice cream parlor. "Hey, son! May I ask you a question? Why did you take the one dollar bill from the barber, instead of the two dollar bill?"
The boy licked his ice cream cone and replied, "Because, the day I take the two dollar bill, the game's over." bada-bing; bada-boom!
Good one, Scott - Thanks

Some pros and cons as regards the "GREAT GAS OUT" as submitted by Scott of Oakland, CA to ponder at Really Long Link
Even though this web site poo poos the effect of consumers not buying gas for one, two or three days, I still think it would have an effect on the pump prices.
