My brother and his family live in New Jersey, so I know that the gas
prices in New Jersey are lower than in every other northeastern state,
with the exception of low-tax New Hampshire. However, in order to drive
on the New Jersey Turnpike or Garden State Parkway, you have to pay a
lot of money in tolls.

That's true, Ken, but why would anyone pay tolls to sit in traffic when
they can get on the interstates and other highways and sit in traffic
for free? <grin>
Q: Why do people in New York City have such rotten attitudes?
A: Because they know that "the light at the end of the tunnel" is New
Jersey.
