The human body has 1.232 gallons (5.6 liters) of blood.
The most expensive (lets call it 'high octane') blood is about $100 - $130 per unit. Thats a pint of almost pure type - O red blood cells, right out of the body. Its untested for blood critters at this point, so if you dont want to catch the HIV from your blood transfusion the price goes up.
(8 pints / gallon) X ($115 / pint) = $920 / gallon
The most expensive gas in the nation = Just about pushing $4 / gallon
So I was right about the whole 'getting screwed on the exchange rate'. We have thousands of orphans, homeless, and Democrats in this country. Cant we set up some sort of oil - for - blood industry and just pull the fuck out of the middle east now? The Iraq thing was fun for a while but now it is at best inefficient, and at worst a criminal misuse of thousand soldiers' blood.

Word Mincer
No blood for oil? Fuck you very much, but I'm all for cheap oil, thanks. I'm just a bit confused about the exchange rate.. we've lost what, 4k souldiers in the 5 plus years of 'The War for Oil'? And the gas prices.. they are where now?
Oh, right. They went up some twenty motherfucking percent.
I'm not even going to start on how all of this impacts the general cost of goods. Suffice to say, most everything you buy has oil (direct, or bi-product) value added somewhere during its production.
The national deficit? Yeah, thats at 9.3 trillion dollars. That piece of shit grew from 5.8 trillion to 9.3 trillion in just eight ass raping years. To put it into perspective, every man woman and child in the U.S of A owe around $30K to all sorts of financial entities (fun fact: 22.7% of that is owed to international interests! Weee!).
Its getting to the point where we will no longer be able to pay the interest on the debt. And that is utterly terrifying.
If the United States were an individual, we would have already declared bankruptcy. Big middle finger up to all of the assholes with the IOUs. Don't expect the back rent.
Mandatory cost of living decrease and credit counciling for all 300 million of us.
Or maybe we can just stop spending so much goddamn money on a war that has no end in sight, and no potential monetary incentive what-so-ever.
