Creston Gas Bar vs. Fire

I just heard some late breaking news from Creston.
Well not really late breaking, it happened yesterday. But none the less this will be in my news before it is printed in the local paper. (It only comes out on Thursday).

The Pet Store/Seed and Feed burned down.

In any case it burned for a while. I could just tell you what happened or I could explain it to you in the form of a multiple choice question.

Yes you got it here it is:

You drive into the extra foods parking lot see yellow flagging tape across the pumps and the building adjacent to the pumps (aka the Seed and Feed) is on fire. But you really need gas for your pick - up truck. You:

A: Have the passenger of your car hold up the flagging tape so you can get you car to the pumps, therefore, not only getting gas but having a clear view of those 40 something fire fighters.....

B: Complain loudly that the pumps are closed, rip through the flagging tape anyway and get your Gawd damn gas. To heck with that burnin' building, you got a game of canasta to get back to.

C: Do the math and figure out that someone ripping through the flagging tape at the gas bar is the stupidest bleeping thing you have ever seen in your life and go get gas someplace else.

D: Understand that people ripping through the flagging tape to get to the gas bar during a fire is the stupidest bleeping thing you have ever seen, but remember that this is Creston and the rules of normal people don't apply. Go get gas and a Slurpee elsewhere. Come back and park at the opposite end of the parking lot and enjoy an afternoon of entertainment.

As usual: D is the correct answer, if you were thinking that it was C, you could be correct also, but honestly what else would you have to do that afternoon?

I only wish that this seed and feed store had a massive collection of corn kernels in stock. Then as the Creston locals gathered round sipping with their Slurpies they could hold out their hands and catch exploded pop corn kernels as they issue from the fire. :)
