[Shotimes] (OT) "I Want to Pump Myself Up" an ode to NJ

[Ron Porter]

Well, you live there, and you are used to it. Just like IN people have the
Indiana Goofy Time which has the equivalent of fur time zones in the summer,
and they can't seem to pass a DST bill.

When you live there it may seem normal. From the outside, that stuff makes
no sense and makes the state & it's people look like idiots.

Yeah-but I don't write a post/article about my gas
station experience each time I fill up in NJ  and I
fill up every week or so. :)

He could've made his point more eloquently without
admitting that he started cursing out NJ. At that
point he sounded immature and I stopped caring about
his experience. If the gas station was as backed up as
he claimed that it was, the cars are only going to
pass through as quickly as the gas can be pumped.
Yeah, its easy to put some blame on the attendants and
state legislators but that's like blaming a bank
teller and the banks's CEO because there is a line at
the bank. It's not neccesairly the teller's or the
CEO's fault either.

For most of us, it does not take 25 minutes to get
gasoline in NJ. I am usually in and out in a few
minutes. My advice: next time, fill up first or don't
take the TPK and keep the blood pressure down.
