Reuters (AP) - On October 8, 2005, Big Oil Interests released a bulletin that they had accidentally misplaced over 1.2 million gallons of crude oil.
"I think I left it in my other briefcase," said Harvey Walachuk, a top executive for Big Oil. "I called my wife to check and see if I left it in my other pants, but she won't go near those things. I'll let you all know next week."
This is not the first time Big Oil has accidentally misplaced a large amount of crude oil. Two weeks ago, another Big Oil executive, Gerald Petra, managed to forget 500,000 gallons of crude oil on his kitchen counter, skyrocketting prices until he drove back to his home and picked it up. "I was in a rush to get to work, and I left it on the table. Most people forget their lunch, I forgot a large amount of crude oil. It could happen to anyone!" was Petra's reply. Fuel prices subsided to a penny above where prices previously were before Petra's over-sight.
With Walachuk misplacing the crude oil this week, prices are expecting to shoot up as high as $8.44 a barrel. "I'll get the oil back to the office on Tuesday, but we still have to try and make up for this horrible shortage with a price hike," said Walachuk, as his accountant was giggling in the background like a school-girl. When asked to comment, the accountant could only reply "My stock is going up... hee hee."
