I don't know which is the most absurd....A horse tied to a gas sign or the fact that I thought this price for gas was too expensive. I took this photo September 20,2010 and would gladly pay that price today.

Anyone that has ever ridden in a buggy behind a horse, knows they generally have plenty of gas. Here's proof.

Very funny capture and I love the irony of a horse tied to a gas sign.

Oh my goodness, I forgot that commercial, I'm still laughing. Of course I love this shot. I'd also would like to pay that amount again.

Good one Tick, it does seem a bit absurd, and is a good one for the contest. Lets roll back the gas prices! :) Tigz♥ =^..^=

Great find and image Tick ... perfect for the contest .
I am all for going back to the original horse power .
The equine gas smells better than the horse manure we are being shoveled about gas prices .
Good Luck in the contest !

Ahhh...So THAT'S how the Amish make extra money! That horse is probably loaded up on "Oat Gas", and is awaiting his turn @ the "depository section"... :O

A good absurdity, Cap'n...Faved...

Wonderful absurd image Tick. What really is absurd is that I filled up with petrol (gas) today and in US dollars it was $7.69 for a US gallon! So stop complaining about the price of gas!

It is a very unusual to see a horse and wagon tied up in front of a gas station. I don't know what you pay now for a Gallon (about 3.8 ltrs). We pay for 3.8 ltrs €5.85 which is § 7.60! The video is hilarious!

It's amazing what you can get (sort of) used to. $2.63 seemed high and low at different times, and at the same time irrelevant and relevant to someone like me who remembers seeing gas go for 19¢ a gallon when I was a child. -Nik

Without joining the discussion on the gas prices worldwide, I must say that the image will make a great entry in the contest. Absurd and funny.
Mind you I seem to be the only one without interest in gas price itself and refer to the image alone. LOL

I think this is a very good entry Tick. However the horse tied to the sing is not as alarming to me as the sign. They are charging the same price for super as they are for regular. Very nice job Tick and good luck.

Should charge for 'Auto Gas'...this is a premium gas which make the horse 'go faster'

nearly £10 quid a gallon over here...(about 8/9$ USD

Good luck in the contest...Loved the video!..

Like braces I too am ticked off by the price of gas! a ironic image indeed Tic. ;o) As the economy gets squeezed even tighter by the global elite you've gotta admire the Amish their robust independence even more.

Great post my friend, I'm fascinated by the Amish. (o:

What's absurd is that the horse is only wearing one sock. As far as gas prices go they have us over a barrel.

A good shot of the horse and buggy Tick. Nice composition of the scene. Good focus, clarity, colours and lighting in the photo. Best of luck in the contest.
