You're exactly right Sonny. It's a big, big conspiracy. Every trucker is
actually making a kick back for every mile they drive. Of course, it's a
secret that you weren't supposed to know. They get that money from
raising the cost of gasoline and diesel, and only giving the kick back
to those who are part of the conspiracy group. I am pretty sure that Al
Gore invented the whole scheme shortly after he invented the Internet.
If you pay to join, you too can get a kick back on your $1000 fuel stop
for your big bad toy. I can't tell you on the list who to pay the money
to, but if you write to me off line, I will tell you where to send the
Western Union Money Order.

PS: Sonny, don't tell anyone else, but Art Bloom is way up there in this
pyramid scheme. He's made millions in the last couple of months from
those who haven't joined when the scheme first got started. He's made so
much money that you haven't even heard him pushing power steering kits
lately. In fact, in a couple of months, he may even start giving them
away to anyone who has 10 receipts for $1000 at the fuel pump. Since you
are such a good guy, I'm sure he'll let you in on the deal. I tried to
get in on the deal, but since I wouldn't tell him where I got my
information, he told me that I couldn't join. :-(

PS: Please don't tell anyone else about this. "You are in the know."
