Mom, you probably don't want to read this one...

The title goes for Aunty Pat as well.

I was in the lunchroom today, eating some reheated lasagna-esque dish, and chatting with some coworkers.

The subject of Google images came up, and how an innocent search for "Drilling" in reference to oilfield jobs turned up several gay porn images.

But then I though, if guys are pumping fluid into holes, would that be called Fracking instead? (short-form definition: Pumping sand, water, gels, even air, down an oil well to crack it open, thus stimulating the hole, allowing oil and gas to more easily be extracted.)

I proposed this to my friends who used to be Frackers, in which their official title is "Tight Hole Stimulator." Their responses were as such:

"Frackers are tight hole stimulating specialists. A driller is a no name that can put pipe in a hole. Anyone can do that."
"Well...you have to penetrate via the drill before you stimulate with frack fluid"
So, it seems you can't frac a hole unless it's already been drilled. And in the end, life drills us all.

LOL
Unfortunately (or, AMAZINGLY) this is where my humour can usually be located. So low it's deep, deep underground. Drilling not even required.
And, I LOVE the Black Keys, so loving the vid!
