A few for today.

I have a friend who lives near Christchurch, NZ. Once while giving the LOML and I a driving tour of historic Christchurch, my wife got excited and said "Gas is about the same price here as it is at home." to which my friend replied "Are they selling it by the liter in the States now?
He sent me this today in an email:
So, you think a litre of petrol is expensive?
Can of Red Bull, 250ml, $2.95 … $11.80 per litre!
Robitussin Cough Mixture, 200ml, $9.95 …. $ 49
L’Oreal Revitalift Day Cream, 50ml, $29.95 … $599.00 per litre!
Bundy Rum, 1250ml, $51.00 … $40.80 per litre!
Visene Eye Drops, 15ml, $5.69 … $379.00 per litre!
Britney Spears Fantasy Perfume,50ml, $29 … $580.00 per litre!
And this is the REAL KICKER.
Evian water, 375 ml, $2.95 …$7.86 per litre!
$7.86 for a litre of WATER!!
And the buyers don’t even know the source? (Evian spelled backwards is NAIVE!!)
Ever wonder why computer printers are so cheap? So, they can hook you for the ink!! Someone calculated the cost of the ink at, you won’t believe it but it’s true; $1,040 a litre.
$1040.00 A LITRE!!!
So, while I drive around the country towing my van paying $2.30 per litre for diesel I’m thankful my 4×4 doesn’t run on water, Red Bull, Robitussin, L’Oreal or printer ink!!!
(A little translation: van in NZ is a camper trailer here in the US.)

So much to learn, so little time.....
