#1 ...There is a catch not mentioned in this article that's shown up in others - they're only freezing production if all the other OPEC members do too.

Not happenin'.

#2 Such honorable people. I'm sure they'll all go along. No cheating. Nope.

[Do I need to put a /sarc on that?]

#3 I am reminded of an old joke. One day, the various parts of the body debated which was the most important. The brain stated that obviously it was the most important because it directed the body's actions. The heart said that it was most important because without it the body would be t*ts up in less than three minutes. The legs said that they were most important because it got the body around. Finally, the as*hole spoke up and in a small voice said that it was the most important.

All the other parts of the body laughed. The a*shole got mad and closed up. Soon the brain got confused, the heart began to palpitate and the legs to wobble. Finally all the other body parts agreed that the as*hole was the most important.

This goes to show that to lead an organization like OPEC you don't have to be the smartest, the most caring, or even the fastest. You just have to be an as*hole.
