Yesterday was April first, and you know what that means.

I’m turning today’s post over to John Gruber who has some words for New Jersey for making a joke out of their idiotic refusal to allow self-service gas stations:

By far the dumbest Internet Jackass Day “joke” I’ve seen so far is this one from the official New Jersey state account on Twitter/X, claiming that effective immediately, they’re lifting the statewide ban on self-service gasoline. For those of you who’ve never been there, I swear, you cannot pump your own gas anywhere in the state. It’s so ridiculous that people have a hard time believing it. You have to wait for an attendant, who is generally rude and almost always slow. Back in the day, they were extra slow returning with change when you paid in cash, hoping you’d just give up and leave. I’d rather run out of gas and just abandon my car on the side of the road than buy a single gallon of gas in New Jersey. And yet here’s the official state Twitter account yucking it up like the joke isn’t on them.

New Jersey residents not only don’t pump their own gas, but apparently they don’t get much exercise of any kind if this is a typical New Jersey resident.
