Default Fixin' Oil Slicks

Is it not ironic that the preventer valve on the deep gulf leaking line
won't close, while the preventer in top of the deep sea oil rescue
funnel won't open?
Seems like BP needs a little cooling to freeze the bust line preventer,
and a little heating to melt the funnel preventer.

But there are literally millions of people out there reading the
"News" that now believe that B.P. is taking all possible means to save
the environment.... and I suggest that is B.P.'s main endeavor, at the
moment.

Cheers,

After working 14 months in the GOM for an oil field service company I
can say that all those guys, Exxon/Mobil BP Chevron, and all the
bottom feeders who buy their old platforms are all one step from total
failure.

Enginroom standing orders:
If it doesnt move paint it
If it does move grease it
If it moves and you dont want it to use duct tape
If it doesnt move and you want it to use WD40
Never ever touch anything with electricty

Ive watched countless mechanical failures on the boat I work. They
NEVER do preventive maint. except change oil and paiint stuff. When
something fails they attempt to fix it. But of course at a great cost
due to lost time from a job and vender bills. Its sad yet true BP
contractors operate the same way. Why? they are just a bunch of
coonasses and texans
