Did you know that on this day in '89 the Exxon Valdez pissed off alot of ducks?
Or that its Harry Houdini's B-Day?  |
A funny story... about an oil spill... ÂÂ
When I first got out of school and went to work in ABQ, I was employed at the Exxon dealer at the airport.  In the lobby were several large pictures of tigers with the Exxon logo accross them, you know the typical corporate promo type deals... but I digress..
Kenny, one of the customer service reps was a real comedian (literally, the guy did stand-up and was a funny focker).  It never failed that a passenger waiting for an airplane would comment on the Exxon/Tiger pictures hanging on the wall... without missing a beat, Kenny would pipe off,  "Yeah, we've got those up untill the ones of the oil covered seals come in..."  
You could usually hear a pin drop in the lobby when he said that... followed, hopefully..... by laughter...
