Re: Humor to help ease the pain at the pump
Sign posted outside Perkins' Pancake House in Newburgh, NY a few days ago:
$3.99 for a gallon of gas or lunch
Your choice!
Clever, and yet think seriously for a moment at people having to start choosing between food and gas and knowing that the latter is crucial for obtaining the former!
Reminds me of some of the elderly in the rural areas near us who some years ago had to begin choosing 'between heat and eat'.... Found one woman dead in her place with the indoor temp in the high 40s and her pills (whatever they were for) cut in quarters presumably to make them last longer.
Not clever; very sad....
