At the present rate of price increases, you are well on your way.

But you better hold out for a year or two more, remember food and utility prices have to absorb the high fuel price, so they will be increasing soon.

For the right price, or 8 gallons of diesel, I could become a double agent!
You had better hurry and pay me in diesel before the price goes so high that I won't except cash or our usual currency of uncut diamonds.

Oh by the way don't tell anybody, keep this on the down low, I don't want them to take away my secret decoder ring!
I think a urinalysis is over due.

Hes been drinking his oil samples from his pick-up again or Hoppe's #9. Not for sure which.

All I do is put a little dab of #9 behind my ears. The old stuff (that probably had all kind of deadly chemicals in it) smelled better. I had a guy trade a rifle in and he had an old cleaning kit with some Hoppes that had to be 50 years old. I keep it around just so I can take a whiff of "the good stuff" every now and then.

Hey, I don't drink much so it's my version of "aged whiskey"

I had a customer tell me that the local McDonalds raised their dollar cheeseburger to $1.30. Don't worry though because the gov't says we have very low inflation. MY ---!
