• Get'n Gas !!

  • From: onetopp
  • Description:

    History has given Bowser credit for inventing the gas pump, but what Bowser tried to invent was a better way to pump water from a well. His invention wasn’t strong enough to draw water from such a depth, but when applied to shorter distances it was a success. Bowser applied his principles to small pumps that were badly needed in country stores and anywhere that kerosene was sold. This was during a time when very little gasoline was being used, as the automobile had still not been invented. The 1892 introduction of the Durea automobile and the growing popularity of automobiles brought changes to the pump industry. As gasoline sales increased following the turn of the century, Bowser built a gas pump for general stores. Bowser grew rapidly and became a very large corporation with branches all over the world. Bowser also diversified, making hundreds of products besides gas pumps. At the end of World War II, Bowser found itself in financial trouble and began offering gas pumps at lower prices.

• More Humour from Samantha

  • From: australian6
  • Description:

    When I was 14, I hoped that one day I would have a girlfriend.  
    
    When I was 16, I got a girlfriend, but there was no passion,

    so I decided I needed a passionate girl with a zest for life.
    
    In university I dated a passionate girl, but she was too emotional.
    Everything was an emergency; she was a drama queen, cried all the time
    and threatened suicide.  So I decided I needed a girl with stability.
    
    When I was 25, I found a very stable girl, but she was boring.  
    She was totally predictable and never got excited about anything.  
    Life became so dull that I decided I needed a girl with some excitement.
    
    When I was 28, I found an exciting girl, but I couldn't keep up with her.
    She rushed from one thing to another, never settling on anything.  
    She did mad impetuous things and made me miserable as often as happy.  
    She was great fun initially and very energetic, but directionless.
    
    So I decided to find a girl with some real ambition.
    
    When I turned 31, I found a smart, ambitious girl with her feet planted
    firmly on the ground and married her. She was so ambitious, that she
    divorced me and took everything I owned.
    
    I am older and wiser now and am looking for a girl with big tits.

• Get'n Gas 22nd Time !!!!!!

  • From: onetopp
  • Description:

    2004 Honda Indian Scout 745 ......; The Indian Scout Motorcycle was born in 1920 and was the brainchild of Charles B. Franklin. In 1927 the Indian Scout Motorcycle, initially with a 596 cc (37ci) engine was bored out to 745 cc (45ci), and was Indian's most important model. The 1928 Scout 101 was and is regarded as Indian's best handling if not best-ever motorcycle. The Scout 101 won many races and it and the later Sport Scout which came out in 1934 and Standard Scout in 1936, were often hopped up for racing and street-fighting. Models of 1934 featured Indian's famous head-dress logo on the gas tank. Indian's huge Springfield, Mass. factory was known as the Wigwam, and native American imagery was much used in advertising. The Indian Scout went out of production after 1945. Ironically, Soichiro Honda rode a 101 Scout for a number of years and it inspired him to build motorcycles. The theme for this Honda Motorcycle is (Honda Indian Scout 745) it has a 745cc (45ci) 52 degree V-twin motor with, 3-valves and 2-plugs per jug, a single pin crank, single 1.34in. carb, two into one headers. The part's put on this Honda motorcycle follow the Scout theme, and are as follows / Indian head-dress, Scout    and 745 logo decals / 5-coats of clear paint  / Mustang studded seat /  River Road T-bag  / Custom made 6in. air intake with Spectre air filter and chrome top  / Accel 8.8mm plug wires  / muffler punched and drilled 7/8in.  / Nelson Muffler Corp. plate on muffler  / air injection on exhaust removed  / custom tag bracket with LED light   / custom chrome left engine cover / custom copy of a 1949 Indian speedometer  / red neoprene  vacuum  hose  / 5in. Retro mirrors  / chrome Vintage horn cover / custom stubby passenger pegs  / Indian points cover / chrome master cylinder cover / 45-70 Govt cartridge on chrome fuel shut off switch  / Oversize Dunlop tires / Dark Candy Red is Honda's name for the bike's color, but it is very close to the Vermilion that would later be known as Indian Red. The Bikes nickname is Indian Joe !!!!!!!

• Exxon Gas !!!!!!

  • From: onetopp
  • Description:

    In 1972, Exxon was unveiled as the new, unified brand name for all former Enco and Esso outlets. At the same time, the company changed its corporate name from Standard Oil of New Jersey to Exxon Corporation. The rebranding came after successful test-marketing of the Exxon name, under two experimental logos, in the fall and winter of 1971-72. Along with the new name, Exxon settled on a rectangular logo using red lettering and blue trim on a white background, similar to the familiar color scheme on the old Enco and Esso logos.

• Texaco Gas !

  • From: onetopp
  • Description:

     Texas Fuel Company, founded in 1901 in Beaumont, Texas, by Joseph S. Cullinan, Thomas J. Donoghue, Walter Benona Sharp, and Arnold Schlaet upon discovery of oil at Spindletop. For many years, Texaco was the only company selling gasoline in all 50 states, but this is no longer true. Its logo features a white star in a red circle (a reference to the lone star of Texas), leading to the long-running advertising jingles ;You can trust your car to the man who wears the star and Star of the American Road. Thanks davisglane !
