nobody worries about the farmer storing large amounts of gasoline and diesel and propane for their generators, tractors, irrigation pumps.

nobody worries about the off-road jeepsters that carry gasoline strapped on the front (or rear) of the vehicle.

nobody worries about the gasoline in the car and truck tanks. nor in riding lawnmowers, leaf blowers, or motorcycles.

why the sudden worry about red 5 gal barrels of gasoline storage by generator buyers?

does anyone REALLY believe folks will be storing gasoline on the pantry shelf next to the Heinz catsup and figure you'll pour gasoline onto your hotdog or meatloaf instead?

reminds me of the flap over the similarity in Brylcreme and Colgate toothpaste tubes several years ago.

of course, with less hair now than i formerly sported, i'm not so likely to spread colgate on my wispy strands. however, i'm very grateful nobody outlawed Brylcreme or Colgate. :)

thanks for the funny story, cheeky.
