WHICH REMINDS ME

Now I'm a little paranoid - why are we rushing to build up the petroleum reserve? There's no reason to contribute to tanking the economy with higher energy prices when gas is hitting record prices, unless of course we NEED the reserve for some upcoming EMERGENCY, or are we just trying to get oil companies the windfall they so richly deserve?

["There's a bear in the woods. For some people, the bear is easy to see. Others don't see it at all. Some people say the bear is tame. Others say it is vicious and dangerous. Since no one can really be sure who is right, isn't it smart to have as much oil on hand as possible?" -MoF ]

URGENT OILED BEAR QUESTIONS! Are oiled bears more or less agreeable? Will an oiled bear evade our grasp? Will an oiled bear become calm and pliant with oil, as if it had enjoyed a sensual massage, or will it become belligerent and bellicose, oiled into a hirsute fury? Is it like a tin bear: (Rowr. Oiiiiiil can. Rowr. Oiiiiiiiiiiiiiil can!) Will an oiled bear receive a quantity discount on hair product? And if we have only, for example, oiled half the bear, and then run out of oil, what may one say of a half-oiled bear? Is it half-greasy, or half-fluffy? I say, let's pay someone to oil up that bear and see.
