Gas Prices
Last night around 9:30 PM I was informed that the gas prices were supposed to skyrocket in the next couple of days.
Incidentally, the fuel light had just flickered empty on my dashboard.
On the way home, I stopped at the local Wal-Mart gas station and asked the attendant if said rumors were true.
The elderly woman proceeded to show me her confidential sheet of paper with orders to change the gas prices from $2.60 up to $2.81 at precisely 11:15 PM, less than two hours away.
So I filled up my gas tank, happy with myself for saving myself a grand total of $2.50 merely by being two hours earlier than the rest of the clueless public.
After that, I called all my friends and informed them of the plight that was about to befall them.
They thanked me.
