How Bush could make gas 86 cents a gallon. American motorists burn 1,400,000,000 gallons of gas at an average cost of $1.90 per gallon every week. (Man: That'll be $2.7 billion, please.)

(Man: That leaves $1.2 billion on your tab.) (Man 2: Wow- that's only 86 cents a gallon!) After all, why are we in the middle east? (Man: Um... cheap gas?) (Bush: Or you could pay $5 a gallon and invade Iran!!)
