Back to the 50’s


Gas prices could drop toward $1 a gallon:

I remember years ago when a bunch of guys were out trolling for poon tang and the gas gauge was on E; we would scrape all the change we had in our pockets, put it together and come up with 2.75, that would  get us about 11 gallons. It lasted us all weekend.  Gas in those days was about .26 a gallon.

Those were the good days when all the guys in the neighborhood had a special bond with each-other. It was like a brotherhood. If Joe had .50 –  Tony had .35 – Rocco had a nickle –  Angelo has .48  WE had $1.38.  We don’t see that type of friendship these days.  Everyone is out trying to gun the other guy down.

SIDE NOTE:

Between all of the 100’s of guys in and out of the neighborhood, we didn’t have one of them that used drugs.  Don’t mistake it. We had some seriously tough characters in those days.  The dissension and gang wars between the thugs today is 98%  about that funny stuff.

Back to the gas situation. When things got real bad, we would sneak in someone’s back yard and use the old garden hose routine; hoping that the guy who owned the car wouldn’t hear us. It got hairy a few times. I am sure everyone has heard the saying dine and dash; we had to suck and run.

If the siphoner didn’t have good reflexes, they usually got a mouth full of petrol.

I doubt if we will ever see .26 a gallon again but it sure is a far cry from when it was over 4.00 a gallon. Yesterday I paid 1.76.

If this decline in oil prices continues some of the Camel Jockies are going to have to trade in their Bentley for a dromedary.

I hear they have some decent intensives these days. If the person buys two or more they get a 25% discount and all the feed for a year.

Better hurry before the prices go up fellas. I think you guys know a lot about supply and demand. 

Many people do not know about the benefits of owning a desert beast. Owning one of them can be very beneficial. They are very good transportation ( a little rough on the mans goolunies, ladies don’t have that problem, takes the guys some getting used to), you don’t have to water or feed them often, 3rd., their excrement can be saved, dried and used in place of fire wood. It may be a little offensive to the senses at first but most people adjust after a day or two.

From a Bentley to a beast.

Keep those prices dropping FOLKS; the common man needs a break.

    101+ octane was 29 cents per gallon. Great power (Lead, not Ethanol), and lasted good.

    Never put a syphon hose to your mouth or you may get a lung (or two) full of gasoline or diesel. Placethe hose into the tank straight up position, then in grasp of hand put your thumb over the hose opening and pull quickly enough to clear the tank with jerry can lower than the fuel tank level. It should start flowing. To stop, put your thumb back over the opening. To remove, hold the hose straight up and remove thumb to flow back into the tank.
