Contains lead.' I would publicly like to thank whoever made that sign. I always thought those big square machines out in front of gas stations were car-wash machines. Now I think I know why the paint has been coming off my car every time I wash it. I shall never be confused again! But one thing still confuses me. Whatever happened to all those gas-making inventions we were hearing about a year ago? Why haven't they yet come onto the open market? One contraption I remember hearing about had a huge tank where you'd deposit everything from old newspapers to the neighbor's cat. You just had to let the horrible mixture sit a week or two in the tank and then, presto, you'd turn on the tap and out would come baby kittens er, I mean, out would come natural gas! Last week, after having filled my tank and depleted de-pleted my life's savings, I got to nervously thinking about some of the neglected solutions to the energy crisis. There is, for example, the old idea of putting a revolving wire wheel into a car upon which mice can run and generate energy. This idea is of course impractical because mice are physically weak and are strongly unionized. My suggestion is that we should put cats on such wheels to chase mice (on compact cars we could use baby kittens). If this proved impractical, we could always add dogs to chase the cats. If such an idea proved impractical, we'could always open a kennel, and if that didn't work, we could park the car and open up a pet shop. Then we wouldn't need to go anywhere, anyway. I started to think about horse-power, but I doubt if a horse would fit under the average hood. But if we would catch the hoods who are siphoning all the gas out of our cars, maybe we could place them under dancing horses with power, or maybe place them on a cage wheel themselves. If such minor crooks were to be put on a round spinning wheel, they'd probably cause the wheels to go crooked, and our driving also, and that wouldn't be a gas. If you can figure out what this paragraph means, you're smarter than I am, and you ought to solve the energy crisis yourself and let me worry about paying my gas bills. I think the greatest way to solve the energy crisis however, would be to figure out a means to tap the steam of steamed-Z steamed-Z consumers. Everyone who buys gas at today's inflated es often feels the urge to let off steam Why waste , our energy with hot worked-up letters to Washington? We know thev won't do any good. Inventors of the world, I ask you, why coSdn't we utilLe such valuable and plentiful resources L coSmer steam? I think it's any idea with great esteem. Above all, as we enter into the second winter of the energy crisis, it would be well to keep , in mind that things are only bound to get worse before toy get better. Last week, as you know, there was talk of adding a twenty cent tax per gallon to the already high price of gas. If the enormous pomposity of such an idea could be taxed itself, I'm sure the government would have more than enough money to buy each and every citizen his own fully-stocked gas pump. Such gas pumps could have little signs on them saying: 'For use as a motor fuel only. Contains lead.
