Gas prices are high enough without you people blowing the hell out of a whole bunch of it.

We're trying to make you Yanks feel less isolated by throwing out massive amounts of pollutants in contravention of our Kyoto commitments...

Nobody pollutes the world like we do, pal.

It could have been worse for you guys... it could've been a brewery that went up.
