That's very funny, but even Good Humor men need a mechanism to increase industry ice cream prices.

Currently oil prices are extremely high because Iraq's oil production has declined precipitously since the invasion. Iraq's oil production was of the light sweet variety which is the only type most refineries can handle.

Having an oil man for President and an oil man for VP is exactly why it is illegal for the two to come from the same state. When Cheney changed his address so he could be VP - the Country should have suspected what would come next.

>>> ice cream would be $14 a gallon<<<

It already is, if you buy it one cone at a time.

I often say that I have led a blessed existence. When I was a child, I could get an ice-cream cone, or a coke, or a baby Ruth 2-ounce candy bar, for five cents. When I was a few years older, terrible beer cost 35 cents a can. I eventually made my own beer at home, better beer, at about 2 cents a bottle.

Now, you can get excellent beer for around a dollar a bottle, which is like getting it for 20 cents or less back then.

I still like ice cream, but I make my own cones at home.
