Twas the night before Christmas, The people that I room with were laying fast asleep, snoring and farting, like a big herd of sheep. The hard hats and steel toes were outside in the halls, smelling like that stinky cheese you get beneath your ba**s. When suddenly I heard a sound that almost pierced my ears, followed by some footsteps, that I thought might be reindeers. So I opened up my door and what came running past, but, a roustabout ( his first time out), with rig dope on his a**. I watched in amazement as he staggered out of sight, and I knew right from that moment, this weren't no regular Christmas night. So, I crawled back into my rack and tried to do my best, to lay there motionless and try to get some rest. When, once again, I heard a noise that had to be St. Nick, but, a cuban speaking galleyhand said-"it's five oclock, you pric*!" So I tried to wash my sleepy face and started my day with hope, I dried my eyes and then looked down at hair on the soap. I finally made my way downstairs and what came into view, the blurry figure of a man that everybody knew. He didn't have no white beard, or dimples on his chin. He said-"Merry Christmas, hand! Your a** ain't going in!" So enjoy your Christmas, may you have many more, cause while you're opening up your gifts, my a** is stuck offshore!
Merry Christmas & God Bless

Grew up in Odessa and worked my way through college on a rig and presently work as landman for a O&G producing company, this has a ring of truth in it.

Funny thing about getting older: Your eyesight starts getting weaker but your ability to see through people's BS gets much better.
