How Much Would You Give?

Via my mom:

A driver is stuck in a traffic jam on the highway. Nothing is moving.
Suddenly, a man knocks on the window. The driver rolls down the window and asks, "What's going on?"

"Terrorists have kidnapped Congress, and are asking for a $10 million dollar ransom. Otherwise, they are going to douse them all in gasoline and set them on fire. We are going from car to car, taking up a collection."

"How much is everyone giving, on average?" the driver asks.

The man replies, "About a gallon."

Ha!

I'd gladly pay for a tanker to drive to D.C...

The citizens are not happy with their elected representatives.  I wonder if the citizens will actually remember this, come November 2012?
