Humor. maybe.

Now that T.Boone Pickens has announced oil has in fact peaked, there's hardly anything left to talk about right now.

So, I got this in my email yesterday- and it did indeed crack me up.  So I thought I would share it with you- maybe it will make your day brighter- in some twisted way.

One is, almost, tempted to call that phone numbers, and inquire.

Now I ask you, is that just totally hilarious, or not?

Simultaneously, I do find it sad, and disturbing- because-

A) There are people in this world who are SO DUMB that they think there are people out there, SO DUMB that they would fall for such astonishingly transparent bullpuckey.

and

B) The people in A- are correct.  Yes, there are people so dumb they will believe this.

Clearly, my mind has boggled.  But I don't see where.
