I had not even thought of that! It probably wouldn't be quite that bad, but gas could be a significant expense.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Happy Birthday, Tommyrot!
I'd love to have one of those wood watches but I'm certain the clasp and stem would set off my metal allergy.
Small dogs can be very good watchdogs. When I was a kid, neighbors on either side were robbed multiple times but we never were. One night our miniature schnauzer woke us all up barking and snarling and we couldn't find anything amiss. The next morning we could see that someone had started to slice open a window screen. They didn't cut much before they were scared away.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
So, on twitter, someone I follow retweeted some of his followers' comments about how "the earth isn't moving" and that anyone who believes the earth moves is getting lied to.
Damn that duplicitous Carole King.

Yeah, I wouldn't take enough home from working on Sundays to cover my gas expense in general, probably, but the marginal cost of just that additional driving wouldn't completely eat up my earnings. I just figured it out, and given if the job is more than about 20 miles away from me the company provides carpooling, I only have to work for about 40 minutes to break even on gas. And I get paid for a minimum of 2 hrs for every job I'm scheduled for. So that's all right.
What I learned in business school, ladies and gentlemen.

OMG, that is super cray cray. The page with the "different Georges" is going to keep me up at night.

Bastard burglars! They took my BIL's very best saxophone, which he bought with the money his mother left him. Assholes.
And his wedding ring.
To be fair, he's more upset about the sax.

I can't tell if that's parody or real. Like so many places on the Internet.
I suppose you could say the earth isn't moving if you are in the proper frame of reference, but I doubt that's the point they are trying to make.
