Greg: How much is gas runnin' here in BG?
Me: Oh, dunno, last night it was two eighty-three. Why?
Greg: It's only two seventy-two in O'boro. I wonder why it's so different?
Me: Good Grief! I have no idea.
I heard him tell a guy in the store later about it and the guy said, "Wow, that's a great price!"
NO, IT IS NOT.
See, this were people get suckered in! Gas prices are so high that when they do go down it feels like a good price because of how high it was before, BUT IT'S NOT!
Sure, $2.72 is cheaper than $2.83, but it's still Not A Good Price!
Gah! The masses are easily brainwashed!
