Finding Oil

Early on in this, I told you about one of my aunt's clients. He was looking for oil, and was sure that there would be some, my aunt set up a stock bonanza...it was early on.

So, time moves on, and apparently they had enough money to start a dig. I had spoken to a few people about it, and people were highly dubious of the whole thing. The stock had quickly gone back down after its initial peak, but somehow, they had earned enough money to start a dig.

I got a call in my dorm room. "Michael? ::cchhhhh:: Can you hear me?"

"Yeah, hey Melanie. How's the dig going."

"::ccchhh:: It's the most amazing thing. We've struck oil! It's coming out. We did it."

"Mazel tov!"

Then, unfortunately, two problems occurred. They had only pumped up about twenty barrels, it was done as a publicity stunt, mostly, to get more money, to keep it going.

The public really didn't understand. Chartzufim, an Israeli puppet version of Saturday Night Live's, mock news stated that (in Hebrew, of course) "Two barrels of oil has been found in the Gallil. In other news, two barrels were reported missing from the Gallil gas station."

Not the bonanza they were going for. But interest is slowly growing. Keep an eye out for it.

Get me outa here!!!
