O.K., every body run quick, run fast! We have to pump all of the gas out of the station's tanks and into ours before some one else does! For those that haven't herd yet, the C.P. pipeline in Alabama erupted in flames earlier this afternoon. So we all must rush to get all of the precious fluid we can before there isn't any left!
