    Smile The price of gas : > )

    I just got this email from my niece
    The price of Gas

    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...)



    Compared with Gasoline...


    Think a gallon of gas is expensive?




    This makes one think, and also puts things in p erspective.



    Diet Snapple 16 oz $1.29 ... $10.32 per gallon


    Lipton Ice Tea 16 oz $1.19 ...$9.52 per gallon


    Gatorade 20 oz $1.59 ...$10.17 per gallon

    Ocean Spray 16 oz $1.25 ...$10.00 per gallon

    Brake Fluid 12 oz $3.15 ...$33.60 per gallon

    Vick's Nyquil 6 oz $8.35 ...$178.13 per gallon

    Pepto Bismol 4 oz $3.85 ...$123.20 per gallon

    Whiteout 7 oz $1.39 ...$25.42 per gallon

    Scope 1.5 oz $0.99 ...$84.48 per gallon


    And this is the REAL KICKER...

    Evian water 9 oz $1.49...$21.19 per gallon!

    $21.19 for WATER and the buyers don't even know the source.

    (Evian spelled backwards is Naive.)

    Ever wonder why printers are so cheap?

    So they have you hooked for the ink.

    Someone calculated the cost of the ink at...< /B>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!!!

    Just a little humor to help ease the pain of your next trip to the pump...

    if people would only stop to think that they are payin that much for a gallon of bottled water. they would all be after the the Naive bottle plant.with pitch forks and in a rage and the next war would break out high in the french alps.the next thing you know the government gets all the water locked up and it all starts to look like mad max in the road warrior. then the next thing that happens is the gas-nazis will hike the price of gas up to 90.00 a gallon and they tell us "well you already pay that much for you fancy bottled water". and then it starts to look like Dune all those damn sand worms and glowin nose things.. where in the hell did the sword come into play??

    you all know thats just new jersey tap water right?? jk..

    sorry for the rant.. i am just waittin for the fed ex man with my new machines...

    Thats why my printer has a CISS - Continuous Ink Supply System. It's a set of 4 ink tanks connected to the printers ink cartridges by tubes. The tanks hold 5-8 times the ink the standard cartridge does and are easily refilled with cheaper ink. My ink is about $80 a gallon (haven't bought that much yet!).

    Hey Musky, they let you top off before you leave at the end of the day?
