Two men are hiking in the mountains. One suddenly stops, removes his hiking boots, and starts putting on sneakers. The other asks why he is doing that.
The first man answers, "I thought I saw a cougar stalking us."
The second argues, "You can't outrun a mountain lion, not even with sneakers."
The first responds, "I don't need to outrun the lion, I just need to outrun you."
It is reassuring that, when it comes down to important things like death to fetuses, finances and oral sex, Cybil and I see eye to eye. Sparked by an old friend's Livejournal we had both been researching and thinking about Peak Oil independently for about a week. Last night when we talked about it, and here is where the joke comes in, we both agreed that we would be the ones wearing sneakers should civilization as we know it come to an end.
