Potential solution for BP?

I suggest that they put a wedding ring over the well... it should stop putting out in very short order!
Yes, I know I am making light of a bad situation... trying very hard to find something to laugh about while we watch this mess unfold.

Well, if they put an engagement ring on it it'll put out more and be generally pleasing...

Historically, this only works for the short-run with the long term output being significantly reduced.

The fake BP twitter account(BPGlobalPR) has been good for a few laughs.
First post was:
We regretfully admit that something has happened off of the Gulf Coast. More to come.

Some other gems...

*If we can make it so the ocean can be set on fire, doesn't that make us like the David Copperfield of oil?
*You know what they say about the ocean... Once it goes black it never goes back! JOKING - the water is brown.
*Catastrophe is a strong word, let's all agree to call it a whoopsie daisy.
*We just saw a shark fight an octopus inside the geyser. Almost made this whole thing worth it.
*If we had a dollar for every complaint about this oil spill, it wouldn't compare to our current fortune. Oil is a lucrative industry!
*The good news: Mermaids are real. The bad news: They are now extinct.
*I'm sorry, are people mad at us for drilling in the ocean?!? Maybe God shouldn't have put oil there in the first place. DUH.
*The ocean looks just a bit slimmer today. Dressing it in black really did the trick!
*We feel terrible about spilling oil in American waters, we'll make sure the next spill happens where the terrorists live.
*This horrible spill wouldn't be happening in the gulf of AMERICA! Arizona knows what I'm talking 'bout!!
*We're having an internal debate at the office. Is the Gulf of Mexico one of the Great Lakes?
