You may be too young to remember the 70s when guys would spritz a
little gasoline behind their ear in hopes a girl would think you
worked in a gas station.


Good grief... did any of them live?

Gee whiz ... nothing? not even a mercy LOL?
You must be too young to remember gas lines. ;-)- Hide quoted text -

I remember them. Wait in lne for a hour so you could get $5.00 of gas
and that was the limit. And if you were lucky you could get gas before
the station ran out. It was rationed to them too!

What is $5.00 get you back then? 10 gallons or so?

Nope got you about 5 gallons. I think the day that I really realized how
expensive gas was getting, was the day I filled up my 350 cc Kawasaki. 3.5
gallon tank and cost me a little over $5. Putting $25 in the van just did
not strike you as bad as $5 in a small motorcycle.
