Oh my God!  A blown-out underwater well is spewing approximately 200,000 gallons of crude oil a day into the Gulf of Mexico.  And the environmental and economic impact of the spill promises to eclipse the Exxon Valdez disaster.  The spill has already interrupted commercial fishing from the Mississippi River to the Florida Panhandle. 

I don’t know jack about offshore drilling; however, I must be a safer “drilling platform” than any of the fixed or floating platforms on the continental shelf.  I mean, drilling me almost always causes an intense “explosion” (now and then some natural gas); however, while I go down every chance I get, I don’t sink; my boobs are too big (giggle). 

I did some online research into offshore drilling platforms and learned that there are several types: fixed, floating, semi-submersible, jack-up, spar, tension-leg, drillships, unmanned—I don’t like those—and the tower that best describes me, “compliant.” 

Drilling me will not lower the price of gasoline, but you could conserve heat and lower the thermostat by cuddling with me, and thus reduce America’s dependence on foreign oil.  And drilling me is eco-friendly.  It can’t harm seabirds, turtles or shellfish. In fact, you’ll be drilling a “clam” with absolute safety (giggle). 

Oh, you have a “drill pipe.”  What an exciting coinkydink.  All I have to say now is “Drill baby, drill!”

Just food for thought

Enjoy the day
