It is, indeed, rather stupid.

Crom...got a couple weeks?

know anything about drilling for oil?

Ever seen a solid steel, 125' heavy steel drilling rig catch fire and
burn to the ground?

And been at the top of it when the fire started?

Gunner


Nope. Never say a heavy steel drilling rig catch fire. Never!

Nor can I remember ever seeing anyone at the top of a drilling rig, at
least when the rig was operating :-)
