Vern was so busy he was not involved when Atlantic No. 3, drilled by General Petroleum, blew wild. He gave credit to lOL's Tip Moroney, a physics and science graduate from Washington's Georgetown University with previous blowout experience, and Drilling Superintendent Charlie Visser for their skill and endurance in bringing the well under control on September 9,1948, just a few days after it caught fire. "Those two fellows worked 12-hour shifts all summer and their plans finally paid off," Vern said. Vern always chuckled about the following incident that almost went unnoticed amidst the noise, smoke and general confusion at the site. "One of the roughnecks had to use the crapper," he recalled. "Because of the escaping gas and oil there was strictly no smoking anywhere, so while out of sight, this guy lit up a cigarette and threw the lighted match down the hole. Natural gas had collected down there. The explosion blew the door off the outhouse and the man out the door. The last anyone saw of him, he was humping across the field like a hobbled horse, his pants down around his knees. He didn't even come back for his pay check."

So you're a sick senior citizen and the government says there is no nursing home available for you- what do you do?

Our plan gives anyone 65 years or older a gun and 4 bullets. You are allowed to shoot 4 politicians- not necessarily dead!

Of course, this means you will be sent to prison where you will get 3 meals a day, a roof over your head, central heating, and all the health care you need! New teeth- no problem. Need glasses, great. New hip, knees, kidney, lungs, heart? All covered. (And your kids can come and visit you as often as they do now.)

And who will be paying for all of this? The same government that just told you that they cannot afford for you to go into a home.

Plus, because you are a prisoner, you don't have to pay any income taxes anymore.

IS THIS A GREAT COUNTRY OR WHAT?
