Close to Home by John McPherson for May 01, 2019

Easy on the brakes going home!

Too many things wrong w/this picture.

I guess it is all OK, because that is CHOCOLATE PUDDING, not gasoline. … Otherwise I would be saying: Not too often you see a 4 wheeled trailer like that! I wonder how it does getting around corners? Or someone dumping gasoline into an uncovered, unclosable container! Made of plastic (which probably melts when in contact with gas). Which is not tied down? Slosh! And what about that Stonehenge thing on top of the pumps?

“Can I get $10000 on #3, please?”

Hopefully this doesn’t spark some controversy!

His profits are going to evaporate.

I suppose there is a fine line between hoarding and storing. I think it has something to do with sharing.

Good luck with those speed bumps.

FOOM!

I was going to ask what could go wrong but I think I know now.

Someone will flick a live butt out the window.

If his house goes up in a fireball, they will blame him for arson. Buying and “storing” that amount of accelerant? No one is going to believe he was trying to beat the Summer gas prices. ☺

Still, you have to give him “A” for trying to think ahead, misguided though he may be. (Actually bloody stupid!)

I often thought of that…. 55 gallon drums, not an open container.

That should make for an interesting drive home …

It’ll be more than gas prices going UP.

For some reason the theme song from “Absolutely Fabulous” comes to mind: “Wheels on fire, rolling down the road….”

My high school chemistry teacher told us never to buy gasoline from off-brand stations. He explained that gasoline breaks down after 90 days and it would gum up your engine. There were no stabilizers back in the 60’s.

He’s being very poolish.

This is all going to go up in flames.
