Subject: Re: [RC] And
you thought gas is expensive
My favorite example is the wine I saw priced in a
restaurant a couple of weeks ago. Don't remember the brand or variety,
but it was $9.00 a glass. Assuming a glass is 6 oz., that comes out to
$192.00 a gallon, if my math is correct. And people complain about the
price of gas?
