Thomas Edison, how could you?

[James A. Landau]

At the Thomas Edison rest stop on the New Joisey Turnpike (near Staten
Island) there are signs on the gas pump islands reading "It is illegal to
dispense fuel into any kind of container."  No exception is specified for a
car's gas tank.

The same rest stop had an honest-to-Peter-Minuet pushcart vendor who sold
watches and costume jewelry.  On the display of watches was a sign reading
"Guaranteed on time".
