$100 in gas buys a baby’s name
We’re starting to see some crazy stuff, all in the name of high gas prices. People stealing fuel, protesting, setting things on fire. But this one may take the cake… for now.
A Florida man plans to name his son after some morning radio DJs. For $100 in gasoline. Do you know that right now, here in California that equals ONE tank of gas in our Dodge Ram? One. And David Partin is selling the right to name his newborn son. For that.
Now the baby isn’t due until winter, so he’ll have to wait until then to claim his prize. The radio hosts plan to be at the birth certificate signing, and then will hand over the gas card. The child’s name will be, according to news articles, Dixon and Willoughby Partin.
That poor, poor, child. We wonder if he’ll sue his father for emancipation as soon as he’s able to. And what kind of fight will ensue when his baby’s momma hears about this one? We bet he didn’t tell her before he cut the deal.
What stupid things have you seen people do, all in the name of ridiculous gas prices?
