The guy says he filled his car with gas once while visiting his brother in California and it almost killed him? What was he doing, smoking a cigarette while pumping gasoline? Or did he fall and hit his head on the pump from smelling the gas vapors? Or was he mugged at gunpoint while he had the hose in his hand? Almost killed him? WTF?
I lived in Oregon for a few years back in the late 70s. It is chocked full of liberals and weirdos (but then I repeat myself) who's ideas generate tons of unintended consequences in their state. One fellow told me to never paint my house because the county would raise my property taxes. In the meantime your house sits there and rots? Synapses aren't firing on all cylinders in that brain.
Weird folks I tell you. Weird.
