1 recommendation
"Ok, so obviously, we all know that oil and water don't mix...yet it seems that certain executive members of society could use an occasional reminder of that fact. Too bad you're not all that likely to run into oil company executives while wearing this t-shirt and hanging out at your local food coop. Oh well, it's the thought that counts, right?"
