Words From Wisdom: Oil That Sucker Up and Let’s Roll

Wisdom Resident and Experienced Advice Dispenser AKA Daryll Jacobson has chimed in on the Oil Crisis with a few high-sage remarks. “We have a lot of environmental extremists still claiming it will take ten or more years for that oil to hit the refineries”, Daryll sniffs. Back in 1974-1975 Daryll worked as a long-hauler while trucking pipeline and supplies all the way to Prudhoe Bay.

“Should you not start school because it takes twelve years to complete it?”, he chortles. “We gave in to these same excuses twelve years ago which guaranteed this crisis. In 1977, after just three years of construction in Alaska we had oil flowing through that line”,  which back then supplied 17% of our nation’s oil needs. “Cut the flap-doodle and start drillin”, Daryll understated. “We’ve already got the pipeline. We just need a short hose to connect to Prudhoe and then rip that spigot open. Preservation of our endangered Caribou herd now demands that we goose up their love lives with the warm glow from that pipeline.”

And with that the High Sage Cowboy left the crowded restaurant through the swinging doors, leaving the cheers  behind him. More Wisdom as it happens.
