    I got stuck behind this jerk in the gas line. Keep in mind that gas is in extremly short supply and the stations sell out quick in central MS since the hurricane. If the guy on the right wasn't a cop, I would have been hard pressed not to smack the ****** around a little. Cop finally told the guy to move on and let other people through.

    Aside from gas hoarding, there is a list of things wrong with carrying that much flamable fluid in the back of a pickup truck.

    Damn, can one person really use that much fuel in a short period of time?

    Should've gotten out, whispered something to cop, gone inside, gotten a little something, & popped a paper bag behind the gas guzzler.

    Cop would've laughed his ass off.

    He may try to sell it for thousands or he may give it away to people who are already standed.

    There is a general rule of "not hoarding" during things like this. It doesn't help anyone to hold onto such things of value if you can't give it out to the masses without trouble. I bet he will be asking for a bullet later today.

    I like the paper bag idea, good one. You can do the same thing with a camera flash. You stand on the far side of his truck and shout ‘Ohmygod!! The sucker aint grounded....’ while you trigger the camera.

    If I was the cop I would ask him to show me his Hazmat license or he couldn't be able leave the gas station.
