Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for June 08, 2012
Transcript:
Goat: I'm trying to figure out if I should still buy gas at that place on my corner. Pig: I thought that was a car wash. Goat: It used to be. Now it's just an expensive gas station. I can drive to a cheaper one five miles away. But that makes me use more gas. Pig: So is the close gas station cheaper? Goat: I think it's a wash. Pig: You said it was a gas station. Goat: Can we discuss this later? Pig: Sure. Right now you sound pretty confused.

Where are the groans? This was a pun. Why isn’t a character threatening Pastis with a baseball bat?

If it’s awash, it’s too flooded to drive into…and if it’s awash in gasoline, too dangerous as well.

Alas! Too near Truth for me. My favorite close-by gas station, with my favored brand, is also the most expensive in the area—unless you also buy a run through their newly-installed car wash along with your gas purchase.

how about walk 5 mile buy the gas, walk back n fill ur car.. btw, if why call it gas when it is liquid?

@bornfree99 In the USA, nothing needs to make sense.
knight1192a about 12 years ago
Depends on how much cheaper and how much gas you’re using to drive the five miles.

Even at a difference of $0.10/gal, to fill my tank that’s only $1.10— usually not worth the drive. Or, being the difference between cash and credit here, is the convenience of paying by CC worth a buck to me?

Algae. The future is algae. Algae for fuel; algae for food.

I’m confused. I was waiting to cringe at the bad pun and it did not come

If you could just find routes which are downhill in both directions, you could save a lot of gas.

I think Pig has cornered the market on puns.

So sad, IMudd, but you should not feel so all alone, everybody must get stoned. Sorry, Bob, couldn’t resist.

Just curious — did anyone here recognize the song in my earlier post?

I really am not under the impression there is any difference between brands, but my vehicle is (discovered by keeping records of brands and mileage) and I need to humor him.
Varnes about 12 years ago
I put gas in my car and drive.
