DONATIONS



A driver was stuck in a traffic jam on the M25. Nothing was moving.

Suddenly, a man knocks on the window.

The driver rolls down the window and asks, "What's going on?"

"Terrorists have kidnapped all of our MPs during a sitting of parliament,

and they're asking for a £100 million ransom.

Otherwise, they are going to douse them all in petrol and set them on
fire.

We are going from car to car collecting donations."

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

The man replies, "Roughly a gallon."

Imperial gallons

The sell wine by the ml, but beer by the pint. They are as screwed up
as we are.

Differing types of refreshment, differing quantities consumed,
different amounts being considered. Toss in some societal variations,
why shouldn't the amounts be being discussed be different?
