A driver was stuck in a traffic jam on the highway outside Washington, DC. Nothing was moving. Suddenly, a man knocks on the window of his car.

The driver rolls down the window and asks, “What’s going on?”;

“Terrorists have kidnapped Congress, and they’re asking for a $100 million dollar ransom. Otherwise, they’re going to douse them all in gasoline and set them on fire. We’re going from car to car, collecting donations.”;

“How much is everyone giving, on average?” the driver asks.

The man replies, “Roughly a gallon.”;
