I wish the folks at BP were as committed.
Hey, BP: thanks for destroying the Gulf.
M...is that you?
I hope so.
I hope that's the Margaret from before! I miss everyone's comments!
I don't know if I would have had the guts to get into that water, oil is bad enough but they really don't know the effects yet of the oil, gas, and dispersant. YUCK! But from a human point of view I had to laugh when he slipped back in - it figures doesn't it?!
Now that's some greasy kid stuff.
You'd figure at about a dollar a gallon someone would come up with a way to recover this muck!?
lola3...I don't think queenie is partial to swimming! (lol)
That's not what I heard. Though she's more of a hot tub kinda girl.
Just think, this is probably the Gulf on a GOOD Day !
BP better compensate these fisherman for the loss of their jobs and enough left over to move their families far away from America's latest toxic waste dump! On a personal note, I won't be eating shrimp for the rest of my life!
