moon oil
suppose the ceo of exxon decided there was oil on the moon despite fairly credible evidence to the contrary. but he's convinced. and replaces any on the board that disagree. exploration is done. no oil is found, of course. but the ceo says, what you mean is, you haven't found it yet. keep looking. so they do. still no oil. screw it, says the ceo. we're going to go get that oil. and at great expense, the company drills a large number of oil wells on the moon. all dry. now, what would happen to such a hypothetical ceo? he'd be sacked of course. with prejudice. so why's bush still president?
