Pumping Ads

You people in the rest of the United States probably won’t
believe it, but, here in Oregon, we don’t pump our own gas.
Yes, we sit in our car and a trained Fuel Technician puts
the gas in our cars.
In fact, it is illegal for people to pump their own gas.

On my
trip to New York
,
I had to refill the rental car and there, on the pump
handle was an ad.
Service stations are getting like athletic stadiums:
every flat surface is covered with advertisements
(although, stadiums have most things beat with those
rotating ad panels so they can get more than one
ad on a surface.)

And this gas station ad wasn’t for a gas additive or
similar. It was for spam software.
Just what I’m thinking of when I’m pumping gas.
