I Tried to Help

So I watched this program the other night about how the Chinese are trying to buy up all the worlds oil as their need increases. It said their need increases by 90 times each year.

Apparently they are giving the USA fits as they are stealing all the suppliers that previously sold the majority of their fossil fuel output to the USA. Africa and South America are making it easy for the Chinese.

So being a good Canadian and believing in being a good neighbour I was naturally concerned for my American neighbours.

And then it hit me..... I had a possible solution.

The more I thought about it the more I liked it. A win win situation for sure.

So of course I got on the phone and called the White House, " let me speak to George" I said. " How may I connect your call sir?" a voice said. " The President, Mr Bush to you," I said "tell George Brick is on the line, and tell him to hurry."

" The president is out of the country sir...would you care to leave a message?" I forgot about the trip to Israel , I KNEW I should have gone along when he asked me to, but I had pneumonia.

Nothing to do but leave a message. So I explained how sure I was that all the phlegm I was coughing up could be modified for use as an automotive lubricant , I personally think steaming would do the trick.

No more need for oil.

I then explained that with all the medicinal whiskey I've been drinking I was pretty sure that cars could probably run on my pee. Forget gasoline or ethynol, use Brickahol instead.

I concluded by saying I would be only too happy to solve their problems and I would ask for a much smaller financial stipend than what the USA was currently paying the worlds oil producing nations.

Naturally I left my number just in case George had misplaced it. I hope she passed it on quickly but you know how hard it is to get good help these days.

No calls yet , I'm guessing George didn't want to inconvenience me knowing how sick I've been. He better hurry because I'm getting healthier by the day.

No one can say I didn't try .

just the teensiest little flaw in your otherwise ingenious plan. dubbya will have to spend the rest of his term trying to figure out how to pronounce "phlegm" and what "stipend" means.

It is my experience that George never listens to good advise. 
"Approach love and cooking with reckless abandon." Don't know who said it first but I like it.
