I'd take the last one on the right:D.

Random thought:
When we got off the cruise ship, we headed out and stopped to gas up for the trip home.
We stopped at a "Suncoast" station by the interstate outside of Orlando and the sign said: $4.89 per gallon of gas.
I didn't know if we had sailed thru a wormhole or what, so I checked the pump; that was the real price:bigeyes:.
Went up to the next station, it was $5.79 per gallon for E10 (not even real gasoline)

WTHeck!!! Is it actually 2043? (I could kick myself for not getting pictures:bang Head:)

Went up a couple of blocks and gas was $2.01 per gallon.
Asked them what was going on and they said that people drop off the interstate, never look at the price, stick in their card and fill up, never having a clue until the pump cuts off.
Then it's too late.
Since there is not shortage, it's technically not 'gouging'.
All I can say is: Millennials beware!
While you're busy diddling with your idoodle, there are people out there that will put it to you hard&fast!
On our way back to the interstate, there were 7 cars gassing up at the $4.89 station; so I guess it really works:confused;.
Edit: If you think I'm lying.....

"This is very close to Disney, and it’s an area that’s full of tourists. To give you an idea of where it is, it’s about 6 miles away from the Swan and Dolphin resorts at Disney, in the Epcot area. This high fee strategy is sometimes used by gas stations who target tourists, especially those from outside of the country who may not be aware of current local gas prices. This has been going on for a while, and we don’t think it’s illegal".

How to tell if someone is a Republican, a Democrat, or just a Southerner

It’s actually true! Check Snopes.

Are you a Republican, a Democrat, or a Southerner? This little test will help you decide:

You’re walking down a deserted street with your wife and two small children.

Suddenly, a Terrorist with a huge knife comes around the corner, locks eyes with you, screams obscenities, raises the knife, and charges at you…

You are carrying a Kimber 1911 chambered in .45 ACP, and you are an expert shot. You have mere seconds before he reaches you and your family. What do you do?

******************************
Democrat’s Answer:

Well, that’s not enough information to answer the question! What is a Kimber 1911 and what does .45 ACP mean?

Does the man look poor or oppressed? Is he really a terrorist? Am I guilty of profiling? Have I ever done anything to him that would inspire him to attack?

Could I possibly swing the gun like a club and knock the knife out of his hand? What does the law say about this situation?

Does the pistol have an appropriate safety built into it? Why am I carrying a loaded gun anyway, and what kind of message does this send to society and to my children?

Is it possible he’d be happy with just killing me? Does he definitely want to kill me, or would he be content just to wound me?

Should I call 9-1-1? Why is this street so deserted? Can we make this a happier, healthier street that would discourage such behavior.

I need to debate this with some friends for a few days and try to come to a consensus. This is all so confusing!
