    Default I would like to buy a barrel of oil...

    I have 93 dollars cash in my pocket, and I want to buy a barrel of oil.

    Please direct me to the closest oil barrel store so I can make my purchase.

    Thanks

    You dont have 93 dollars in your pocket.

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

    Hop into your li'l putt-putt and hie y'self to Pennsylvania (the closest oil barrel store). $93 might buy the contents - today, but the barrel itself may cost you upwards of $650, presuming you desire the classic 42-gallon wooden whiskey barrel of oil. Or perhaps you have your own container?

    Or maybe you meant olive oil, or whale oil... a whole 'nuther kettle o'fish. As it were. So to speak.

    Additionally, UPS would probably deliver said barrel-full of oil right to your front door for a slight surcharge, plus they'd probably try to talk you into buying a full 55 gallon steel drum-full, which might put you over budget.

    I do wonder: what's a nice girl like you doing with pockets, anyway? And ones with cash, no less? Maybe I could interest you in a small share of a tiny stock in a mortgage default swap fund. Just use your paypal account and send funds to yourcongresscritter@usgov.gov

    It's patriotic, yanno.

    I don't see why people get so bummed about Lemur's Disease. It's quite treatable. As diseases go, it's chronic as opposed to terminal. Think of it as a benign form of Herpes.

    Too bad it's got such sour results.

    I didn't know about the barrel, Kukri. Thanks for pointing this out.

    **** puns. The entire world's economy sucks. So let's get drunk and stay that way until it solves itself or we die. Either way, problem solved.
