Summary
Dear Tom and Ray:
I was pumping gas today, and it generally costs around $35 to fill my tank. Today, the meter went up to $40, and I thought it was because the price of gas went up again. But since I only had $40, I had to stop pumping. When I pulled the hose out of the gas-tank opening, gasoline started shooting out of the gas-tank opening! It was not just dribbling down the side of my car - it looked like a fountain! There was gas all over me, the concrete, the gas pumps, etc. When it finally subsided, I realized that my entire lap area felt like it was on fire from the gasoline that soaked through my jeans! All I could think about was getting home and getting those clothes off, so I jumped into the car, drove home, pulled everything off, jumped into a tub of water and waited for the burning to stop. After drying off and applying two tubes of Neosporin, I finally felt better. But what happened?!See the full content of this document
