sure thing, Mr. Serial Killer!

There is a gas station a block and a half away from my house. I walked down there today to get gas for the mower.

In the alley an older guy in a huge, black pick-up truck stops and asks me if I'm headed to Nick's to get gas.

Um, CARRYING A GAS CAN, so YEAH.

Then he says in his nicest voice, "Hop on in, I'm headed that way!"

Yeah. It's a block away. I don't know you. I live in a city of a million people and it's 2005. Sure, Mr. Complete Stranger Who May Be a Serial Killer! I'll jump right into your big-ass pick-up truck and entrust my safety to you.

Not. Likely.
