You got to find and discover one of the very rare spots in the world that has oil, build an oil rig there, float it out to sea, dig a hole with nothing in it, then another, and then another one, then you finally get oil, then you have to put it onto a ship, float it half way around the world to another country, put it in a refinery which is the size of a small county, turn it into petrol, ship it into storage, put it into a flame proof tank, drive it hundreds of miles, pump it into a tank, and sell it.

This is not to mention the cost of maintaining the gas station, paying the attendant, setting it up, etc..

All this and all we pay is $3.50/gallon for it?  And to think how much of that goes to gov’t taxes, and it’s even cheaper.

Compare this now to…

-Milk, which is a bit more expensive by the gallon last time I checked–and all that’s  involved there is tugging on some nipples of a cow, bottling it up and placing it on the shelves of a supermarket.

-Bottled water, the biggest scam in modern history, especially with companies with Dasani selling nothing more than water straight out of the tap for ridiculous amounts.

-Wine, $200 for what amounts to a bottle of mashed up grapes with a fancy label attached to it?  It won’t even get you buzzed as fast as gasoline can.  You can even just inhale the gasoline to give you a nice little buzz going.

-Semen, $75 to blow a load for what amounts to 1-2 minutes of work, who knows how much that translates into gallons, but considering the available supply of such a commodity, and the extremely (soon to be) limited supply of oil found in this world.

So the next time you find yourself complaining about the price of gasoline, think of the milk you flush down your toilet and the semen you drink every morning, then shut your traps.
