#2) Gas Prices



Gas prices are crazier than bat shit.

To prove that gas prices are crazier than bat shit, I'd like to point out that I stole this graphic from a story published in October 2006. That is eons ago in gas-price time, and back then it probably cost like $2.59 a gallon and people wanted to kill themselves.

Right now, a gallon of gas in Stratford, Conn., will cost you $5.00. In Spring Valley, N.Y., it is $5.06. If you want gas for $3.30, you have to go to bumble-fuck rural Florida. However, you will spend $250 in gas getting to Florida, where you will probably be killed by the locals for your gas money. Gas money is the milk money of 2008.

Gas prices are so out of control that it makes you seriously reconsider whether you actually need to go to the place you think you need to go. Chances are, you don't. Stay home. Play with your Nintendo Wii. Masturbate. Call your mom. Just for the love of God and all things holy, don't. drive. anywhere.
