[Coral-List] Oil and reefs

[John Ware]

Greetings list,

The recent discussion of the possible effects of oil on coral reminded 
me of a very old story.

It seems this travelling salesman is going along a country road a little 
too fast and hits a cow that a farmer is moving across the road.

The salesman gets out, looks at the cow, and says: "It doesn't look like 
I did it any harm".

To which the farmer replies: "Well, if you think it did any good, I'd be 
glad to pay you for your trouble."

John
