What
is an Oilman?
Between the security of childhood and the insecurity
of second childhood we find a fascinating group of humanity
called: ……… Oilmen
………
They come in all shapes and sizes, in dirty overalls,
in court, in love, in bars and always in debt.
Girls love them, towns tolerate them and companies
support them.
An Oilman is: laziness with a pack of cards,
bravery with a tattered copy of Playboy and protector
of the world on
a 6 pack of beer.
He has the energy of a Tortoise, the slyness
of a Fox, the brains of a Worm, the stories of a Sea
Captain, the sincerity of a born liar and the aspirations
of a Casanova.
Some of his interests are:
Women, Females, Dames, Broads, Chicks and the
opposite sex.
He dislikes answering letters, overtime, safety
meetings and warm beer.
No one else can cram so much into one pocket: a dirty handkerchief, a package of crushed Cigarettes, a picture
of his girlfriend, a comb, a church key, an old boarding
card and what is left of out of last weeks pay.
He likes to spend money on girls, some on booze,
some on horses, some on football and the rest he just
spends foolishly.
An Oilman is a magical creature.
You can lock him out of your house, but not out
of your heart.
You can scratch him from a Chopper list, but
not from your mind
- he is your one and only pissed off pain in
the ass.
But all of his shattered dreams become whole
again when he climbs aboard that shore bound chopper,
looks back at the platform and says…..
FUCK
THAT SHIT !
