Maybe they can embed this cylinder in the hole in Dick Cheney's carapace, where he used to have a heart.

C'mon, it's Halliburton. They're charging law enforcement for the privilege of helping them.

Now every time I see the opening credits to the Simpsons when Homer's driving home and finds a misplaced glowing radioactive rod stuck to his back and throws it out the window I'll think of Halliburton.

The good news is, we found the radioactive cylinder, and you're not being fired for losing it. The bad news is, you're moving to Reeves County, Texas, and your new job is exterminating giant, glowing insects.

Umm, where do you think it came from--surely not the back of a truck?! That's the power cell for his animatronics!

Mr. Cheney's fuel cask is rated for 1 decade of operation under normal circumstances, and does not require replacement at the present time.
Please consult an executive maintenance technician at your nearest undisclosed location for further information regarding cask replacement schedules, procedures, and disposal regulations.

Did they find those WMD's yet?
Yes, but they could never make the place where they filed down "Made in USA" look inconspicuous.

They were also involved in the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. If we find out that Halliburton is responsible for the eruption of Eyjafjallajokull, for the Smolensk plane crash and for cancelling Farscape, it wouldn't surprise me in the least.

Dude, no! That'd make Dick Cheney just one step closer to being Iron Man! What is WRONG with you?

Wrong hole.
