[QUOTE="el blanco, post: 3287692"] Oregonians freaking out over law that requires some of them to pump their own gas Here are some of the, um, more concerned responses, and they're all quite serious: ♦ "Not a good idea, there are lots of reason to have an attendant helping, one is they need a job too.
