That is f**ked up. Where is Rodney King. Maybe he can make his "Can't we all just get along speech."

I have not run into any Eastern block immigrates that believe that getting rid of Suddam is wrong. Some believe in peace at all costs, but that should not insite a murder.

Don't run out of altitude and experience at the same time...

You know..........thats more true than you may imagine......my aunt came up to washington, stopped to get gas and sat there.........then sat there.....then started to angrily honk her horn..... the station attendant came out to find out what this old woman wanted and she proceded to give him a verbal lashing, at the end of it.......he pointed out the "self serve sign"...............HAHA.....she was from tillimook OR............and she had to apologise, and ask him to show her how to pump her gas, 65 yrs old........never done it .......hmmmm

ah..Oregon..the only state ive ever been in who thinks its citizens are to incompetent to pump their own gas...



You'd think that 's the case, but it's not. It's a social program to retain minimum wage labor in the state. :S
So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh
Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright
'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life
Make light!

You should swing by New Jersey some time, not only do they pump it for you, but it's significantly cheaper than it is in NY, PA, or DE.

"sorry sir you cant, its a state law"

"damn! glad i'm almost out of your state thats just asinine.."

They yell. ;) Apparently they can get slapped with a hefty fine if they let me pump my own gas.

A newcomer to Portland arrives on a rainy day. She gets up the next day and it's raining. It also rains the day after that, and the day after that.

She goes out to lunch and sees a young kid and, out of despair, asks, "Hey, kid, does it ever stop raining around here?" The kid says, "How should I know? I'm only six." :D
