High Gas Prices Confuse Dipsticks

Still, he said he probably would not be trading in his personal pickup for a more fuel-efficient vehicle.

"I can't with three children. I'm pretty much stuck. Big man, big car," he added, patting his belly.

Jesus Christ. Put down the goddamn Ding Dongs and maybe you'll be able to wedge your ass into a normal car.

And what does "three children" have to do with needing a pickup truck? Do you haul them in the bed?

Why do I get the feeling these fuckwits are going to riot in the streets to try to keep their 11 MPG F-150s?

You mean F-350 quad cabs.

Heh. There's a guy I (sort of, through work) know trying sell one of those behemoths. He wants $27,000 for it (65,000 miles). It's got the 7.2 liter "Power Stroke" diesel engine. He uses it to tow some huge boat.

I saw the ad, and the guy I was with said, "I guess he doesn't need it anymore now that they came out with Viagra."
