Thread: The Government ransom

I'm stuck in a traffic jam.....

Nothing is moving. Suddenly, a man knocks on my window. I roll down the window and ask, “What’s going on?”

He says “Terrorists have kidnapped all The Senators, and are asking for a $10 million dollar ransom. Otherwise, they are going to douse them all in petrol and set them on fire. We are going from car to car, taking up a collection.”

“How much is everyone giving, on average?” I asked.

The man replies, “About a gallon.”
