According to a rash of e-mails
that I have received today
I
Now Have The Honor
Of Being Placed On
IGNORE
By More People
Than Anyone else
ever
on this forum !
For This Esteemed Honor
I Thank Thee
For those of you that found my posts offensive
I Forgive You
For Those Of You That Think I Only Bash The UPC
I Have Turned The Other Cheek
Today's events have rminded me of a job
{in an Oil Refinery}
that I had in my youth -
I Feel Another Story A Comming On - - - - -
You See
We had a SPILL of Heavy Crude Oil in the South Tank
Field. The heavy crude oil had seeped out of the huge
tanks but the oil spill had been contained by the dikes
that surrounded each tank in the Tank Field.
They located and repaired the leaks in 2 of the tanks.
They then pumped as much of the oil as possible back
into the tanks.
Mike Havlicek {our Foreman} selected 10 men, then he
seperated them into 2 crews {A & B Crews}.
I had the priviledge of being in charge of the 'B' Crew.
We were issued Rubber Boots, Rubber Gloves, Shovels
and Wheel Barrows. A Load of Sand was dumped on each
of the Tank Dikes and a Dumpster with a ramp,
was placed on the outside of the dikes.
We were instructed to scoop up the remaining Heavy Crude
Oil, place it in the Wheelbarrows, wheel the remainents up
the ramp and dump it in the dumpster. When this job was
completed, we were then to spread fresh sand over the
ground where the Heavy Crude Oil Had Been.
I was real thankful for the cool overcast weather that day
because the 'B' Crew worked very hard . It took us about 8
hours to clean up the mess created by that one oil spill.
I well remember getting Chewed Out By Mike Havlicek
Because
the 'A' Crew
Had Cleaned Up Their Mess In Less Than 3 Hours !
HOWEVER
JUST THREE DAYS LATER
THE THERMOMETER WAS 102' when Mike Havlichek came
by to check for any more Leaks.
The Fresh Sand Gleamed Around The Tank Where 'B' Crew
Had Worked So Hard For 8 Hours _
BUT
When He Got To The Tank
Where The "A" CREW Had Done Such A Good Job
HE
WAS
F L A B B E R G A S T E D
Because
The Heavy Crude Oil
Was Poking Its Ugly Head Out Of The Sand
ALL OVER THE PLACE !
You See
Instead Of
Exposing And Getting Rid
Of The Heavy Crude Oil
They Just Covered It Over
By Heavily Spreading The Truck Load Of Sand
Over The Top
Of The Spilled Crude !
My What A Mess
It Took Us TWO Weeks To Clean It Up !
Thinking of that
really makes me know
That WHEN
THE HEAT GETS TURNED UP
COVERED SIN
WILL POKE OUT IT'S UGLY HEAD
EVERY TIME !
JMHO
