That would seem plausible, since everytime he tried to find oil with one of his companies, he just found a bunch of worthless holes in the ground.

Nah, I'd say it was Nutmodels and BigBird (the model company), trying to get into the petroleum business, seeing they can sucessfully sell models at such a high price, they can probebly do the same with oil .

Of course, I'm not too suprised, stuff like this happens alot, even if its not reported that often.

No, the other "missing" tanker was hauling that. Rumour has it, it was Ol' Grandad whiskey.

Nah, if it was Bubba he'd need his mom and pops to do it for him, I'd be surprised if that empty headed dip sh*t knows what a tanker is.
