Myself, I would go for Sushi too!

It seems barely a week goes by without a headline about a new record oil price. I wonder if we're even understating things by calling it a $200 and not a $500 hamburger!

Everybody's complaining about fuel prices, and not unjustifiably so. Obviously half of the money you're paying through your nose goes to the government in the form of sales and fuel taxes (at least in my country it's like that). Although it has to be said that the sales tax increase levels out by people spending less on other things. But If you want to know where the other half goes, look here.*

(* This is a video about Dubai. We're aware that not actually the whole of the other half of your oil dollar is going to Dubai. Given the size of the country probably just a tiny fraction. We're aware that there's many other countries benefitting from the high oil prices. And we apologize if, by the shortness of the post, some of you would have gotten the impression that we're blaming Dubai or any country. Still, it can't be said that they're not benefiting from it, right? (sometimes it's amazing how politically correct some of you expect a comic creator to be.))
