What really pisses me off is when people sell a vehicle and say "It's really econimical, it only costs $20 a week to run" or something similar to that, well no shit idiot, FFS even a carbied V8 will cost $5 a week to run if it's only started up once a week and idled for a minute.

Perhaps one could consider the term "run" to mean be in use everyday for travel committments. :whistle:

Or people that think because a car costs more to fill up it means it uses more gas.
No, it just means the tank is bigger. =/

If this sort of thing truly "pisses you off", I'd advise you to get out a whole lot more.

You know I make a point of steering clear of the Jokes forum.

I wouldn't worry mate... your concerns are misplaced. There's a few in here that have a hell of a lot better punchline than you.

Yeah, it pisses me off too! :mad:
Why can't they use proper grammar and spelling:
"It's really economical - it costs only $20 per week to run."

Don't start adding up shit on a weekly basis .....


Oil, say $70 4 liters, say once a year - $1.35 a week ...

Really good shit @ $120, $2.30 a week .......
