The three blind mice oil executives are returning to Capital Hill today. What will they most likely say in response to questions from the Senators?
A) We were just following orders.
B) Hey, the oil in the pipe line is ours. You get to keep anything on the beach. This way, you get most of the oil. That sounds fair, doesn't it?
C) Senator, we see this as a question of morality. What kind of weasel would bite the hand that has fed it for alll these years?
D) Hey, for thirty or forty million a year in salary and bonus, and the private jet, you can call me whatever you like for a couple of hours, you schmuck.
E) You need to take the long view of things. Those fishermen and their kids will eventualy die. But my stock options go on forever.
F) Oil is a fossil fuel. It was once alive. Us too.
G) Remember the old joke, whoever dies with the most toys, wins? .Well, guess what...
H) No, no, no. I have an MBA. Master Bullshit Artist. That's why I get the big bucks.
I) Micheal Corleno is a legitmate busnessman.
J) Money and politics. What could go wrong?
K) I was as fooled as you were, Senator.
L) See, BP just owns the pipline. Transocean owns the rig. Haliburton owns the cement. I have no idea who owns the oil.
