I'm Gettin' Rich On Gas Prices ... I Think.

[ThomWV]

We've got a boat. In the fall we fill it with gas so as to avoid condensation forming in the tank over the winter. The boat holds 216 gallons of gas.

In the fall I filled it at $1.87 a gallon. Today that gas has a street value of $3.14 a gallon.

When I filled that boat the gas had a value of $404. Today its worth $678. So using today's Republican logic I am $274 better off today (my personal wealth has increased) than I was just a couple of months ago. For this I am supposed to thank George?

1. Sure. Just remember though:

Don't re-sell the gas until 18 months have passed, because you'll get hit with a capital gains tax.

Sounds like a nice boat, btw...

3. Yes.

Thank the boy king, vote repuke & if you want to see that investment really go up, don't go boating this season - wait till next or even the next!

7. Are You Kidding? This Is HIGH TEST :~)

Nothing but the best for my baby ... besides, this is an investment, remember?

9. That avatar is mentally funny.

Reminds me of a picture I've got of a cat lying asleep in the kerb with a cigarette its mouth, a bottle Budweiser tucked under its arm and a few empties lying nearby.

8. Last time we had a petrol shortage

and consequential price jumps here in the UK a few comedians started buying petrol in cans and storing it in their garden (yard to you I guess) sheds in volume. Needless to say need a few unfortunate incidents aka explosions soon put a stop to that. You're in fortune circumstances having the boat (ship ?) to fall back on if need be. At least that's a safe way to store it. Sure was a good investment though albeit an accidental one.

10. I'll speculate

Put a hold on it at $800.00 for July 15th.

I'l buy it then. That's $3.73 a gallon. Since fuel will be $5.00 a gallon by July 15th

I'd be filthy rich off you.

14. And I'll Make Money Too ... Ain't It Grand To Be A Republican?

Shit son, we're all getting rich here.

11. hope you've got a

locking gas cap on that boat's tank?..........

12. Make sure you put a couple of bottles of gas stablizer in the tank...

Otherwise, your investment may be worthless...
