I think the intended humor of the photo was lost.
I guess that the 'l33t' was dround out by everyone's frustration on the currently impossible cost of fuel and living.
I got it...
Eagerly waiting for Masterpiece Meister
I get it now. I was reading this thread this morning from work so I was distracted. That's my excuse and I'm sticking by it.
simple dont buy petrol
car pool
or hitchhike
or use a penny farthing

I got it, but yeah, the humor was lost with me, I got fuel today, $1.50 a liter. only cost me $7.00 or something, but its still a stupid price.
It Costs my dad nearly $500 a night to fill his truck up, both tanks full. I'm just glad its not his truck any more.

Not neccasarily. I used to work with a guy who was a complete tool. I mean seriously the guy couldn't divide by 10,000 when working out scheduled servicing for cars. He now owns a beachfront house on the north coast because he went to Mount Isa and worked in the mines for several years. Another friend from Port Lincoln (S.A) works as a deep sea pressure welder on oil rigs. It's a crud job but he only works 6 months a year. I worked nearly 7 years as a commercial fisherman... did I like the job? It had more cons then pros, but the pay was that good that I saved enough to pay for the majority of my house.
Owning a house is achievable it just takes a little thing called sacrifice.
The jobs that Bartrim's citing have high pay because they're "undesirable" (i.e.: lots of people would rather not do it - as Bartrim said, "crud job") and in the case of deep sea oil rigging, there's the danger pay.
Mind you, my job is becoming increasingly undesirable too (only that I don't get any extra pay for it)
