"The BP Chairman, the oill spill and the plumber"
BP's Deepwater Horizon pipe drill broke, exploded, caught on fire, sank, and then started to leak millions of gallons of crude oil into the Gulf of Mexico, destroying the
environment, killing countless wildlife and destroying the livelihood of millions of people in the region. Weeks later, thinking this may be a situation that needs fixing,
the BP Chairman called a local plumber, only to be told that it's his day off.
"But I get called out on my days off, by President Obama, and even by the small people!" says the BP Chairman, somewhat exasperated.
Being kind-hearted, the plumber relents.
When the plumber arrives on the scene, he glances over the situation, and looks preoccupied. He mumbles something about top hats, valves and suction. Then he hands the BP
Chairman a couple of golf balls and miniature Gulf of Mexico shrimper figurines, and walks out, saying, "Here. Put these in your pipe and speak condescendingly to the
people at a press conference outside of The White House. If it doesn't clear up in 24 weeks, call me."
