What do they teach in school these days?

Ok, so I'm standing at the gas pump when I notice the two cars full of high school students at the pumps next to me. I start watching them because it's always entertaining to watch high school students; kind of like watching monkeys at the zoo. As they are getting out and popping back and forth between cars I notice that two of them are smoking. Now I'm sure there's a sign right above their heads that gives the warning about smoking at a gas pump. So, maybe they can't read. But then I get to thinking, didn't we all learn in science class that gas was flammable? So, maybe they didn't take science class. Or, maybe they don't know what "flammable" is. Either way, it made me nervous. I finished up and pulled out as quick as I could. I kept playing over in my mind that Tommy Boy scene where David Spade was spraying gas all over Chris Farley. The idea occurred to me, but I wouldn't have wanted to ruin the kids Nirvana t-shirt or his crooked hat. Maybe that's it, his crooked hat was keeping him from reading the sign. Wow, fashion, it really is important.

On a side note, wireless internet is cool. I'm actually typing this from my truck sitting at the end of my driveway waiting for the bus. And before you get any bright ideas, I lock my access point down. Wouldn't want a trucker doing 70 accidentally hitting my access point. Anyways, bus is here. Got to go.

Rob Lowe, man...it was Rob Lowe spraying gas on the Maniac, Maniac on the floh-oh. I'm disappointed, Chris...

Okay, so I should have said "that scene from Tommy Boy" instead of trying to get specific. Sheesh, the movie police strike again. I was loopy on DayQuil, give me a break.
