How is it that we have come to have an oil shortage? The first three answers are from an email, the rest are from… somebody else:
- Nobody bothered to check the oil.
- We just didn’t know we were getting low.
- While our oil is located in Alaska, California, and Texas, our dipsticks are all in Washington DC
- Bush failed to live up to his campaign promise to steal oil from Iraqi orphan children
- Perpetual motion energy turned out to be a hoax
- New Humvee-SUV hybrid depleted most of the national reserves during its first test drive
- Lack of trained samurai made it easy for ninja’s to steal our oil reserves
- Environmentalists said we could run cars on apple cider
- They were lying
- Halliburton decided oil spills are more evil than the American economy, and has been dumping all of its oil into the pacific ocean
- We’ll worry about it when it runs out completely
- Jimmy Carter
