[Sca-cooks] OT, OOP--Summer warning--not a hoax

[Stacy Morris]

I saw the same adverts and found them rather
insulting! It seemed they were saying that women in
particular were'nt capable of pumping their own gas.
All I could think is this is NOT the 1950's, I am
capable of changing a tire, my own oil and doing my
own car repair in general, where do these people get
off insinuating I cant pump a few gallons of gas.
