It's not news! Toilets are filthy! The sun is BRIGHT, MAN. You know, squirting yourself with Purell every. Five. Seconds. Is actually detrimental to your health. Your body actually WANTS to have something to fight off once in a while so when the really BAD NASTY MEAN BUGS come along, all your white blood cells aren't all fat and soft and lazy and Americanized, yah dig?

So will they start posting warning labels on the pumps beside the no smoking, turn off ignition, and no cellphones signs?

Although, this sign looks more like a "No Rolling Stones" zone, which is just ridiculous. Get Off of my Cloud.

just randomly noticed this on FB:

As filming of the first season was nearing completion, Discovery greenlighted production on another Rowe project, Dirty Jobs, under the condition that Rowe choose only one show upon which to appear in person. As Rowe relates the story, Discovery told him that the two shows would be airing back-to-back on the same night, thus, "We can't have you telling us stories about six dead fishermen on camera and making a fart joke with your arm in a cow's ass."

For the less-informed Farkers, can we get a complete list of things we should and shouldn't be licking?

Should Lick:

1) The spoon used to stir cake mix
2) Woman parts or Man parts (your preference)
3) A tootsie pop

Should NOT Lick:

1) Subby's mom
2) Gas pump handles
3) Strange women on the subway
4) Cold metal poles in December

Strange subway women need love, but you should probably ask permission. Don't just surreptitiously lick her knee through her stockings after she trips over your backpack full of explosives. That's not cool.

I live in jersey where it is illegal to pump your own gas (and it's still cheaper than where you are!) so I'm getting a kick out of these replies.

Well, now I think you're being rather unfair here. Have you ever gotten a bj from a macho mexican midget man? I'm guessing not. It is like bacon wrapped in cheese wrapped in bacon. See, these gas pumps deserve love. All they do is be used by people every hour of every day. That's it, they are used in exchange for money. It's prostitution, what wee need is some good old-fashioned service for service exchange. You give the pump a bj, and the pump gives you gas.

GacysBasement: First off Jersey is among the lowest priced, if not the lowest priced gasoline in the country.

According to Gas Buddy (new window), Jersey is #10 by a hair... Alabama and Arkansas (#11 and 12) are very close, within a few tenths of a cent. I live in the lowest price state (yes, Missouri...), but right now the local stations are all at $3.11, nearly a dime below the reported state average (even below the STL area average of $3.19).

As for the mandatory full service in NJ, well, I don't know why they still bother with that. The only time pumping your own gas is actually a problem is when it's super farking cold outside. Even then it goes pretty quickly.

I would have no problem having to pump my own gas. However, it certainly doesn't suck that I don't have to. People from neighboring states (Delaware, Pennsylvania) even make a point to get gas here so as not to have to pump it themselves and it is cheaper than there. You're at 3.11...I saw a place this morning at 3.21. Still pretty reasonable.

I think there's only a few gas stations around here that have full service. Not many, and their prices are usually a shade more expensive. Not much though. Seems like the areas that allow self service have pretty well eliminated the full service stations. Just not much demand. I'd think if full service was in much demand it would be in more places.

Do you tip the guy filling up your car? It's neither here nor there, but I've wondered that.

Personally, I just don't like the idea of some random gas station guy dinking around with my car... those fuel doors can be fragile.
