Yep ... the 72 gas shortage ... long lines ... my buddy and his brother lived about a block from one of the gas stations and made a killing selling coffee and doughnuts that their mother made for them to sell ...
... granted "a killing" to a 7-year-old in 1972 could have been a mere $5 or $10 bucks ... I have no idea how much he made ... but it was enough to get a newspaper article written about it ...
... and I am sure many of those people waiting in the long lines to buy gas thought better of it after about 20-30 minutes of drinking the coffee ...
