When "Offshore Drilling" Takes On A Whole New Meaning

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Before Hercules Offshore collapsed into bankruptcy, they (like every other company in the USA it would seem, that faces falling revenues) were desperate to cut costs. Unfortunately for the offshore drillers that worked for the firm, Hercules chose to squeeze out the last drops of expense in a 'different' way...

Normally I use dollar bills because they are reasonably absorbant.... but if the boss says use quarters...

This is an obvious fake. It has been circulating for years, usually using college dorms as the setting, as other posters have pointed out.

If Tyler actually believes this is real, it scares me.

Abuse pays! If this is for real, it looks like Pikey did himself in anyway. $38k ain't going to make much of a difference. Not a good example though.

What is it with oil companies and sexual acts?  Like a few years ago when Baker Hughes acquired BJ Services...sure, they paid a lot of money for them, but who hasn't paid a lot of money to acquire BJ services?  Now Hercules is throwing the cock block by forbidding a simple shower tug?  God damn it, is this not still America?!?!?

Great now that I followed the link the adds along the margins are for outdoor sheds and site to find very handsome men in my area.

I used to get the Buy Gold and Female adds on ZH. This has ruined my cookie profile.

And this might be true if the rigs have to recycle the gray water. I'm sure the Rig Foreman can't stand the idea of showering in recycled baby batter. So no fun for you.

What, are they recycling it for drinking water or something?

And what about the daily dumps (BM's) and urine?

Are they worried about mutant sea creatures?

My favorite "offshore drilling story involves our favorite corrupt late Senator from Massachusetts.  It seems that a tabloid photographer with a long range lens had gotten pictures of Teddy boy banging away on some trollop aboard his yacht and they were subsequently published in a grocery store throw away.

One Senator Howell Heflin of Alabama brought the rag to a meeting of the House Energy Committee on which he and Kennedy both sat.  At the appropriate time, just before Kennedy was set to speak, he produced the photographs and announced to the committee that he was glad to see that the Senator from Massachusetts had "changed his position on offshore drilling!"

Kennedy later had both the comment and the photos expunged from the committee records.
