STOP BLAMING OBAMA FOR HIGH GAS PRICES! IT’S A WORLD MARKET!
Great, and tonights the night I teach the anger management class.
OMG! Now I’m gonna have to increase my blood pressure meds to match the rising cost of gas!
“Damn it,now she will expect me to WALK to the corner market.”
Gee, gas priced are increasing at the same rate as the national debt under Obama!
I need a new plan, I drove 5 miles to save 2 cents a gallon for my 10 miles per gallon van.
I KNOW it SUCKS … but I ran out of ideas for a good cartoon !!!
I just realized I’m paying for the stupid SMART train, AND $5 gas, AND the roads are turning to gravel, and Joe Biden is VP…..ARRRRRRRRRRGH!
These should be called,”CRUEL OIL PRICES”!
Ok I give, I’m out of gas and I love your high gas prices!
These prices are why it’s called CRUDE OIL!
Ok I give, I’m outta gas! I’ll pay the $4.29 a gallon!
This is un-American! I have constitutional rights to life, liberty and low-cost transportation!
Velcome. My name is Volvo.
I vant to pump you up, then pump you dry.
Pleaze stop yelling at me, you’re hurting my fuelings.
It makes it fill more like a real robbery if I put my hands up.
What the hell was I thinking when I voted for that idiot that said he wanted to see gas go to $7 a gallon!! He lied about everything else but this!!
“Hope & Change”? CHANGE is the ONLY thing left in my wallet after 3+ years of Obama’s energy policies!!!!
No I refuse to sing ring around the gas pump!
Fracking oil sands! I’m starting to hydrocrack myself!
You damn fossil fuel, it’s.about time your obsolete.
ARE WE THERE YET?!!!
“I’ve lost my house, my job,and my pride.
I ain’t got cash, grass or gas so you can just kiss my _ _ _!”
” Why don’t they have this pump in braille ? “
I don’t HAVE another credit card! I maxed the others out LAST WEEK?
When did the 3 grades of fuel become “Gotcha,” “High Profit” and “Bend Over?”
Rage against the machine!!!!
What! A talking gas pump! You’ll have to speak English I don’t speak Farsi!!What…is that a union label you’re flashing at me!!!30 cents a gallon for benefits!!!!!!
This is HIGHWAY ROBBERY! Especially since my V-8, 400 horse power, Family Truckster gets only 10 miles per gallon.
The only thing you’re fueling today is my anger!
You started charging already! I just got out of my car.
Outrageous! This pump makes me look fat!
I’ve got to go bad,and only gas buyers can use the rest room.My damn car is electric.
I need to win the MegaMillions jackpot just to pay for a week’s worth of gas!
First they want over $4 a gallon, and now a talking gas pump, why I otta….
WHERE’S THE HYDROGEN?
You can’t play in a man’s game! Hit the bricks pal and beat it ’cause you are going out!!! You’re weak. I’ve been in this business fifteen years. You got the prospects comin’ in; you think they came in to get out of the rain? Guy doesn’t walk on the lot unless he wants to buy. Sitting out there waiting to give you their money! Are you gonna take it? Are you man enough to take it? I can go out there tonight with the materials you got, make myself fifteen thousand dollars! Tonight! In two hours! Can you? Can you? Go and do likewise! Get mad!!
I’m mad as hell and I’m not gonna buy gas anymore! Except I need my car to go to work…and pick up the kids…and go to the store…they got me over a barrel!
I want to buy gas but my gas tank is on the other side of my car, and because of my crippling rage issues I’m just going to scream until the authorities arrive.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN “STICK ‘EM UP?” You’re not “hosing” me again, you dirty gas-spewing son of a Bowser!
Can’t this stupid thing pump any faster? I’ll be late for my anti-drilling protest.
You expect me to waste my public employees pension on these kind of outrageous prices? Let the taxpayers pick up my tab, like always!
“That’s it! This is highway robbery! I’ll ride a bike to buy my beer!”
I haven’t hit the jackpot on this machine YET!
We four eating Peanut butter and banana sandwiches 3 x s a day are getting boring. It’s either fill up the car or fill our stomaches
A gallon of this #%@* gas is costing me almost as much as a
16-ounce Starbuck’s latte…it’s an outrage!
I can’t afford Solyndra, Ener1 EveryGreen Solar, Range Fuels etc
no more subsidies for green backed by taxpayers
Sir, today is an odd day and your license
reads even.
Okay,I surrender! It’s a Chevy Volt
and a solar panel.
A minimum of $200 per transaction and my credit history, are you kidding me?
This is almost enough to make me want to buy an electric car!
At this price someone should be washing my windshield and checking my #%@& oil!
“what do you mean the credit card reader is broken?”
What do you mean my loan application for a tank of gas has been denied???!!
STOP DRILLING IN MY WALLET!!!
Why stop with draining my bank account? Take my retirement! Take my hopes and dreams!
You can take your billions of dollars in profits…and your billions of dollars in subsidies…and PUMP them where the sun don’t shine!
” You want road rage,I’ll show you road rage.”
What a rip-off, it will cost me $60 just to drive to the nearest casino.
How am I going to afford my diabetes medicine now!
I can’t afford four more years.
