Looking for humor in gas shortage
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Even though Gov. Sonny Perdue had asked the federal government to release crude oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve to ease the gas crunch concerns, problems in metro Atlanta are expected to continue for the next few days if not a week.
Until then would you like to see — as some stations have already done — impose a limit to how much gas motorists can buy at anyone time? No one expects it to get as bad as the oil embargo of the 1970s.
But if you want to take a walk on the humorous side what other alternative plans can you come up with to ease the pain at the pump: Alternative days for Georgia Bulldogs vs. Yellowjackets fans? Republicans on Mondays and Wednesdays, Democrats on Tuesdays and Thursdays and Libertarians on Fridays?
