A little humor

A driver was stuck in a traffic jam in Washington DC. Nothing was moving.

Suddenly a man knocks on his window. The driver rolls down the window and asks, "What's up?"

"Terrorists have kidnapped the entire US Congress, and they're asking for 100 million dollars for ransom.  Otherwise they say they're going to douse them all in gasoline and set them on fire.  We're collecting donations." 

Driver asks "Just out of curiosity, about how much are people donating?"

The man replies, "About a gallon."
