YEARS AGO A FRIEND OF MINE WAS PREVENTED FROM PUMPING HER OWN GAS IN OREGON.  SHE WAS TOLD GAS WAS AN HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCE AND SHE DIDN’T HAVE THE TRAINING TO HANDLE IT:  She then pointed out she was going to use the guestroom and was she cleared to handle her own urine?  Which was, of course, rude, but also very apropos.  So now…  Oregon’s Gas Pumping Apocalypse.
