A Drop In The Bucket

[anthony gorman]

Actualy my math was wrong. I divided by ounces instead of drops. it was cool while it lasted. :(

this is the correct math:

69,992,640(# of drops a year) / 16,640(drops in 1 gal) = 4,206 gallons lost per year

4,206 X $1.80 (cost of a gallon of gas) = $7,571 (dollars of gas wasted per year)

I guess if you put this number towards all the companies and at all the stations in the world it might be big enough to care about. Oh well.

personally, i dont like the drops of gas getting on my paint (or the gas cap really). the instructions say to wait several seconds after filling stops. this never seems to eliminate the spillage.

my motto has always been that the girl has to suck up every drop.
so I guess my car will have to stop whinning and swallow it all.
cuz spiting is a waste

but if you lose a drop, and your two friends lose a drop, and their two friends lose a drop... and they tell two friends, and they tell two friends

Cool, sounds like Lex Luthor's plot for Superman VIIII

what makes the nozzle shut off, is that it is submerged partially. So, if you pull it out a little bit and lift the hose it'll probably eliminate the drippage.

Is it just me, or does that sound incredibly sexual?

And guess what? Every time I fart I pollute the atomostphere. And I'm not some scrawny little prick, I'm a 275-pound part-time bodybuilder/part-time drunk. When I let one rip I change the national terror alert level from YELLOW to ORANGE. Usually its a long, evil sound accompanied by a devious laugh. Other times its a silent killer that puts half the Federal Government out sick.

What effect do my ferocious farts have on the rest of the world? Let's see, the three other people in my office die immediately, the worldwide demand curve for our products drops, and I'm sure my new boss will fire me and replace me with someone who knows my job better than me... :rolleyes:
