Another Gasoline Record

Two guys who worked together were both laid off, so off they went to the unemployment office and the first guy was asked what his occupation was prior to being laid off.

"Panty stitcher. I sew the elastic onto cotton panties."

The clerk looked up panty stitcher. Finding it classed as unskilled labor; she gave him $300, a week unemployment pay.

The second guy was asked his occupation.

"Diesel fitter."

Since diesel fitters was a skilled job, the clerk gave the second guy $600 a week.

When the first guy found out he was furious. He stormed back in to find out why his friend and co-worker was collecting double his pay.
The clerk explained that panty stitchers were unskilled and diesel fitters were skilled labor.

"What skill?" yelled the panty stitcher. "I sew the elastic on, he pulls on it and says, 'Yep, diesel fitter!"

That was pretty good.

we are under 4.00 here. At 3.99 we were only above four dollars for a month or so.

Still stuck at 3.97... Even though areas around here (Minneapolis is in the $3.60's) are lower then us. They must be trying to make back some money on keeping it low for so long.

People falling all over themselves to gas up when a gallon of gas fell to $3.81 in my local area and they were topping off with smiles on there faces.

The demand didn't disappear it's waiting in the shadows.

Dropped about .10 to 3.89.

I find the psychology of gas prices interesting.
