-- Late 1970's (the decade of the "energy crisis")... a newsman asked an oil man, 'How much oil is in the world?' The oil man flummoxed the newsman by replying, 'It depends.' The flummoxed newsman said 'Depends on what?' The oil man replied 'It depends on what you want to pay for oil... if you don't want to pay much, there's not much around, if you're willing to pay a lot, there's lots of oil around.'
