You have to think this stuff must be staged or faked, no one is that dumb, but then you get out and actually meet some folks...

I know you and Mrs.T don't have kids but isn't it kind of revolting there are more requirements for getting a driver's license than it is to take a fragile, live being home with no instructions? Yikes.

That was such a panic-buying mess. The pipeline was not down that long.

It had zero effect here in Texas, as that pipeline originates in Texas. The gasoline was already here. That pipeline runs from Texas, up the East coast, and ends in New Jersey.

It doesn't just carry gasoline. A lot of Jet fuel travels North in that pipeline.

I might have that topped, you be the judge. From the Darwin awards some years ago...

Guy had no money to drink so he mixed gasoline and milk and drank some. He threw up into the fireplace and died in the resulting fire.

I have known some pretty addicted people, but none had ever been that desperate.

To top it off it happened in Switzerland.
