 Oil Shortage - (Humor?)
Back to Full Blog  

--------------------------------------------------------------------

ALL .... Found this ONLINE just now .... WINK?

TallPockets

--------------------------------------------------------------------

A lot of folks can't understand how we came to have an oil shortage here in our country.
~~~
Well, there's a very simple answer.
~~~
Nobody bothered to check the oil.
~~~
We just didn't know we were getting low.
~~~
The reason for that is purely geographical.
~~~
Our OIL is located in :
~~~
ALASKA
~~~
California
~~~
Coastal Florida
~~~
Coastal Louisiana
~~~
Wyoming
~~~
Utah

~~~

Kansas
~~~

Oklahoma
~~~
Pennsylvania
and
Texas
~~~
Our dipsticks are located in DC

Any Questions? NO?...Didn't think So.

ALL: THANKS for your comments. MUCH appreciated.


I just saw the five biggest Oil Company Executives/ceos on C-SPAN at a congressional hearing a short while back. Each said, that the REAL price of ONE BARREL OF OIL is about $60 a barrel in actual costs/terms.

They ALL stated, PUBLICLY, that ''SPECULATION'' accounts for the OTHER HALF of the selling price of one barrel of oil.

So, EVERY TIME someone in our current 'administration' gets on t.v. and sabre rattles against our enemies, etc., it just only FEEDS the PANIC and FRENZY of speculators.

So, THIS DUMB old GRUMPY geezer's advice to said admins:

SHUT UP! YOU are KILLIN' us REGULAR citizens!

YES, there ARE BAD people and BAD countries in the WORLD. Always have been .... Always WILL be.

But, just send our 'DIPLOMATS' to these BAD BOYS' countries to TELL them in PRIVATE whatever you want to TELL them!

PUBLIC THREATS to these IDIOTS only make them bolster 'their' feeble world arguments that the MIGHTY U.S.A. are BULLIES once again.

STOP playing 'their game'!

THEY know and WE ALL KNOW, that ANYTIME the U.S.A. WANTS to or NEEDS to ''take care of someone or some country'', it CAN and it WILL happen!

Again, Close thy lips! It's like threatening your 'kids' at home a GAZILLION times. STOP IT!

Either DO something or STOP the MULTIPLE threats! After awhile, the KIDS turn the parents OFF because they've heard it a GAZILLION times. Psychology 101. ~SIGH~

The OTHER thing contributing to AMERICA's price of oil being bought is the FALLING DOLLAR! .... WE pay about 50% MORE than MOST other countries because of our WEAK currency against global money market exchange rates, etc.!

GOTTA' FIX that one, also, folks!!


FINALLY: GRUMPY, old TallPockets is a COMMON SENSE type o' fella' ....

So, would SOMEONE please explain to him, just HOW it is that a SHORT time ago, the price of one barrel of oil was about HALF of what it NOW is?

Yet, to MY readings and such, I've NOT seen a DOUBLING of WORLD WIDE USEAGE of said OIL in that SAME time frame/period?

This DUMB old man could 'understand' it IF ACTUAL USEAGE of OIL HAD, indeed, DOUBLED in the SAME window of time. But, it HASN't. So, WHAT gives?

"SPECUALTION, SPECULATION, SPECULATION" ....(Panic, Panic, Panic) .... Grrrr ....

Hmmm .... maybe TallPockets should walk up to the LOVELY lady he saw last week at the 'grocery' store and SMILE at her and tell her:

"Hello, good lookin'. I'm SPECULATING that life will get more stressful very soon for you and for me, so with that in mind sweetie, would you please come home with TallPockets for the next few nights?

Just IN CASE my 'speculations' come true!

WINK.


(T.P. 'speculates' even THAT line won't work for him!) .... GRIN.

One comforter short of a really nice waterbed yours ....

TallPockets.

Sort of odd, or maybe strange, or maybe it's just me.

The price of a barrel of oil is going up, oil company profits are going up, and the president and veep of this fine country are all....OIL MEN.

Hmmmmmmmm. I DON'T remember getting kissed first.

MISS SHERRY: HELLO & THANKS for taking some of your MOST valuable time and heading this old man's way today. MUCH appreciated, as always.

Consider yourself 'KISSED'. ONLINE, of course!

And a kiss on the CHEEK (that would be FACIAL, btw! - SMILE) by GRUMPY, old TallPockets.

Of course, also, your other half should KNOW that OLD TallPockets is TOTALLY harmless!! WINK.

Sing along with me, Miss Sherry ....

"Raindrops keep fallin' on my head" .... GRIN.


My BEST --


Often, KISSED-off yours,

TallPockets.
