Don’t ask me. I live in Oregon USA. The general public isn’t allowed to pump their own gas. We’re too stupid or just spoiled. I’ve yet to figure it out. - Seven

• • • Um, I don’t know which you are, but on average, Oregonians would seem to be stupid. Oregon has laws that say that you must pay for a professional idiot to pump your gas, and so whenever you buy gas you are paying for the gas plus the idiot’s paycheck. Pumping gas isn’t real difficult, it doesn’t take a master’s degree in Gasology.

New Jersey also has this law. Fortunately per gallon taxes are low, so even with the paycheck of the “professional idiot,” gas prices are well below those of adjacent states.
