There is no Gas Shortage.

-I have a book upstairs, it was written by a religious missionary type Chaplain who went up north to Alaska, feeling that the men who would be away from their wives and families for long stretches, working on the Alaskan Oil Pipe Line, would be in very real need of moral and spiritual support.
-The oil company he worked along with up there was so happy to have somebody like him there, encouraging its employees to avoid drinking on the job and stuff like that there, that they made him a sort of officer in their ranks.
-& Knowing this, a supervisor/manager type person invited him to come to a meeting at which a super big shot hot shot supervisor/manager type would be giving a speech.
-That speech began with, “There is no Gas Shortage, there never was a gas shortage, and with what we know now, there never will be any gas shortage.”
–The Chaplain was so shocked when he heard that with his own ears, that he looked into it, came up with actual supportive facts, and wrote the book.
-When senior officials in this well known oil company ‘caught wind’ of the book, steam and smoke billowed out from their ears and they exploded with something like, “Bring me the head of the moron who invited that Chaplain to that meeting!”
-The man who had never been told not to invite the Chaplain, never knew there was any reason why he shouldn’t invite the Chaplain to a high powered meeting of company executives…. got fired.
-He was so thrilled about this that he went out and read the book and called the Chaplain up, & said, “Hey, you got it pretty much right, but there are a few details that you don’t quite have correctly there- and they will try to use that to discredit you, so let me fix that and help you with a bit a re-write.
–So Let me say again:
-There is no gas shortage, There Never Was a Gas Shortage, and there never will be a gas shortage. There is enough oil under Gull Island in Alaska to drive the price of gas down to $1.00 U$ a gallon, or a little more than twenty five cents a litre.
-I don’t want to be anywhere near any oil company executives when an unhappy mob recognizes them as the evil schnarr ice holes that they really are.
—Whatever they got for their souls when they accepted their ‘positions’, it wasn’t enough, and it will not save them.
– Amen- (climbs down from soap box looking very unsatisfied with the state of the world today…)

Better Font- Better Look?

I did like the look of the photo in the header of this blog’s previous incarnation, but-

And Now I have a slightly altered photo of Moe in this header. (Yum!)

Pretty soon I can sit back and smile and think I actually got something done here….

Yay! Now how do I tell it to keep this colour for the font?
