Donate a Match for Worthwhile Bonfire of the Vanities Redux


A driver was stuck in a horrendous traffic jam on the beltway outside Washington, D.C. 

Nothing was moving. 

Suddenly, a man knocks on the window. 

The driver rolls down the window and asks, "What's going on?" 

"Terrorists have kidnapped Congress, and they're demanding $100 million in ransom money. Otherwise, they are going to douse them all in gasoline and set them on fire. We’re going from car to car, collecting donations." 

"How much is everyone giving, on average?" the driver asks. 

The man replies, "Roughly a gallon . . . ."
