Lower cost in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula....
Old joke by a Detroit rock DJ: I figured out how to save money on gas. Every morning I drive a few hundred miles up north and gas up and then drive back. Cheap gas up there.
There was some NFL player on the local sports show and somehow the price of gas came up. The player said how he saves money is by buying just half a tank. “I could save even more if I just got a quarter of a tank but then I’m going back to the station too often.”
The announcers laughed. The player said “What’s so funny? I’m paying like half of what I would pay if I filled the whole tank up.”
The player never admitted it was a joke - so maybe he was being serious? Although there was one player on the team that was like that with a lot of things and you never knew if he was joking or not.
“Why do people like dogs so much? All they do is lay down, walk around and eat your food. I mean - they can’t even talk to you! What’s the point? Now if they could talk I’d get one in a minute. Of course I’d train it to be quiet when I didn’t want to talk.”
