BP MINERAL OIL!

by Bill Costley


"If I cain't see it, I don't sweat it;
them oil-balls're as natural as
our great Americun Guff, heah?"

Barbour justifies oil as natural
'cuz it comes up frum The Eartf:
"It's done us a lot of good sofuh.
Just let it do it, bubba Guffuhs."

Barbour rubs himself down all
ovuh with BP-brand mineral oil.
"There's nothin' like it! Nothin'!"
