GOLF BALLS n' DOG HAIR
So, we are experiencing the worst oil spill in modern North American history. This disaster calls for the highest of high tech solutions. BP is on it. They're trying to plug the mile deep well with mud, rocks, and ground up golf balls. And how many ground-up golf balls will it take to plug a mile deep tunnel? Are there enough golf balls available in the whole-wide-world to grind up that will fill that opening? (And has anyone priced a six or a twelve pack of golf balls lately?)
On the surface, the proposed solution: panty hose stuffed with dog hair to mop up a spill of hundreds of thousands of barrels of oil... Dog hair in panty hose is supposed to keep millions of barrels of oil out of the marshes and off of the beaches? Time to buy some stock in L'eggs, I guess.
Golf balls and dog hair, huh? The spill IS in the Deep South. What about using some locally available resources - like shooting a bunch of biscuits and gravy down that hole? It does wonders on clogging our arteries. Could it do any worse than ground-up golf balls? Or, could BP corral that plastic island that's floating out in the Pacific, grind it up and shoot it in? That would allow them to save the Earth after degrading it, and gain positive PR at the same time. Whatever works!
All I know is that whoever came up with the golf ball and dog hair scenarios is setting him or herself up for a big fat bonus if this sheme, er, idea works! Look for either some kind of hero worship or stake burning to materialize when someone can be blamed for the mess, or credited with cleaning it up.
