Gas prices jumped ten cents in between the morning and evening commute today. I was unfortunate to refill the tank after the price hike. You can just imagine my demeanor when I returned back to work. Let's just say I was roaring on the inside--King Kong angry.
When I emailed my friend to tell him the news, he replied, speculating that my trip to refill the car was as exciting as being "greased up and bent over..." and ready for the rubber-gloved nurse to administer a proctology exam.
My reply was simply: "It wasn't so kind. It was a shit-caked boot kick right up the arse!"
And to make matters worse, I just spied this news headline on CNN.com this evening: "Experts Predict Gasoline Prices to be $4."
Also today, another friend happened to email me a link to this animated music video called "I Can't Afford My Gasoline." Go ahead and listen to it. It's so fitting! It's clever. Besides, it's a polka. And anyone can dance to it, especially the kiddies!
