The jokes about the brittish fuel crisis have just started comming out, here is my favorite
A tax paying member of the public, on his way home from work, came to a
dead halt in traffic and thought to himself, "Wow, this traffic seems worse
than usual. Nothing's even moving." He noticed a police officer walking
back and forth between the lines of cars, so he rolled down his window and
asked,
"Officer what's the hold up?" The officer replied: "The Prime Minister is
just depressed about all the fuel blockades and that his whiter than white
image has been tarnished, that he stopped his Jag in the middle of the
Motorway under protest, and He's threatening to douse himself in petrol and
set himself on fire.
He says that everybody hates him and he doesn't have the money to pay for
the new house. We're taking up a collection for him." The tax payer said:
"Oh really? How much do you have so far?"
The officer said: "About three hundred gallons, but a lot of folks are
still siphoning."
