How much did the cans cost? We need all the math here.

The cans cost "borrowed them from my dad" dollars each lol.

There was a feller local to my area that got himself involved in stolen credit cards. He had welded himself together something that could only be called a vat in the bed of his truck that could hold 300+ gallons. They caught him at the station when he came back for the fourth time.

Nonsense! My old buddy "Three Fingers" Donovan told me it's perfectly safe and you don't need to empty the cans before you start welding.

I wonder if he's related to my old buddy "Uninjured Hand" Donovan. Been a while since I checked in on him...
