[QUOTE="Lastkidpicked, post: 343772, member: 237"] As goofy as they were, Jeb Ames and Willie Joe Garr could have been great villains to Ewing Oil. [ATTACH type="full"]41368[/ATTACH] Why? Because sometimes yokels do the most damage. Remember that this was before security cameras were all over the place. The guys could basically drive to any oil field they wanted, and with a few turns of the right valves, shut down an entire field. Here's a story told in every bar in Texas. Imagine this was a young Jeb Ames or a young Billy Joe Garr in the story: A roughneck accidentally dropped a tool down a well. Everything had to come to a complete stop. Now the company has all this equipment and all these people on the clock waiting for the tool to be retrieved. It took days and cost thousands of dollars. When the fishing engineer finally got the tool up, he handed it to the boss. The boss handed it to the roughneck and said, "Take your tools home. You're fired." "Fine!" Said the roughneck, and tossed the tool back in the well and then walked off! [/QUOTE]
