    Cheapest I remember was a "U-Pump-it" station in Colorado in 1968, it was 25 cents as well.

    My maternal grandfather would tell a story about his father getting mad
    at him for paying eight cents a gallon for gas back in the late 30s.

    When I started driving in 1989, I was mad when I had to pay 75 cents a
    gallon for gas. I was driving a 1978 Ford LTD with a 400 CID V8 in it
    and it was always thirsty.

    Are you bothered by impure thoughts my son, a priest asked a
    teen-aged boy in his congregation. Oh no, Father, the boy replied, I rather enjoy them.

    Used to have a t-shirt with that on it.

    Sean,

    "Lead me not unto temptation for I can find it myself."

    Used to have a t-shirt with that on it.

    Having worked in silkscreen printing, I'm always on the lookout for
    shirts with crazy things on them...here are a few I've seen over the
    years.

    1) "One doesn't get older...one gets better. And, I'm approaching MAGNIFICENT!!"

    2) A picture of an ocelot that looks like he has been sucking on
    bitter persimmons. The caption "I have PMS and a handgun. Any questions??!!"

    3) A picture of a Mexican gaucho, with a grinning burro, and pile of feces
    on the gaucho's boot. The caption "I said SIT!!"

    4) "Sarcastic Remark coming in 3....2....1...."

    I never knew so much went into silkscreen printing...for textiles,
    signs, etc.
