The World Without Oil
Well, let's just say that this morning, today, you walked out of your house. You stretched, yawned, the usual. Bent over to pick up the paper, but there was no such thing anymore. You then stood up, and glanced around your neighborhood, horrified. Today, there was no oil. Everything you once new, that was made from oil, had now gone. Everything from cars to toilet seats, gone.

When it comes time for the men to shave, they'll use just their razor and water. Three of the worst losses is deodorant, perfumes, and colons.
