Ahh you're one of those "he's never worked hard in his life" guys?

No I work in a bank now. How do you think I have time to post?

I wanted to share with y'all a conversation I had at work today.

Me: Those idiots took the cap off and now more oil is spilling out.

Teka: I don't see how more oil could be coming out? It was already coming out fast as shit.

Me: They don't want to fix it. If they did it would've been done. They're doing this on purpose.

Teka: No they can't fix it!

Me: Teka the coupler is still on the pipe.

Vander: Whoa Whoa Whoa! Hold up cuz. Say that again.

Me: The coupler is still on the pipe.

Vander: Hold up cuz (He gets a picture of the pipe off the Net and shakes his head) Man that's an easy fix! I thought it was a hole on the bottom. All they have to do is take off the bolts and put on a new pipe.

Teka: Na uh! That oil will blow off that pipe.

Vander: Well you make sure the valve is open and it will go strait threw the new pipe. They can pump the water and oil out of the area while they're doing it too to cut the pressure down. (I hadn't thought of that. You can also pump it strait threw the new pipe as your fastening it. This would be best because it would create suction.)

Teka: Yeah but it's so far down there they can't get to it.

Eddie: Well they got robots. How do you think we're getting those pictures?

Me: They think we're stupid!

Vander: Yup!

Teka: Well y'all need to go down there and show BP cause they don't know what the Eff they're doing.

Vander is a liberal, a Cowboys fan, and isn't prone to agree with me just because we work together. We're not rocket scientists, just two regular dudes that know how to use a socket wrench.
