Originally posted by SeitseNot wishing, naturally, to get drawn into a conversation about gas, but several years ago I asked my brother in law what he wanted for Christmas and he jokingly replied 'gas for his lighter.'
Correcto.
Well, Christmas came and my brother in law looked perplexed when he opened my present to him and discovered a tin of baked beans. I of course reminded him that he'd asked for gas and was now in the position to generate his own.
True story.
