So don't e-mail me and attempt to implant, at this late stage, a math gene in my head.

And, as you so well know, a bushel = 256 gills. A gill is a quarter of a pint.

How much more romantic would that song have sounded had the lyric been: "I love you, a bushel and a gill..."

Mullfoto of the Day

Left: How much it cost to fill the Mullmobile (1999 Land Rover Discovery, 120,000+ miles).

Right: How much it cost to fill the Skippy Scooter (2005 Qlink 150cc, water cooled motor scooter).

Ok the Discovery gets about 15 miles to the gallon and has a 25 gallon tank and so has a range of 375 miles. The Scooter gets about 65 miles to the gallon but has only a 2.15 gallon capacity for a range of about 140 miles.

Even so, it is psychologically calming to spend four dollars before the pump automatically shuts off.
