A manager at Wal-Mart had the task of hiring someone to fill a job opening. After sorting through a stack of resumes he found four people who were equally qualified. He decided to call the four in and ask them only one question. Their answer would determine which of them would get the job.
The day came and as the four sat around the conference room table, the interviewer asked, 'What is the fastest thing you know of?'
The first man replied, 'A THOUGHT.' It just pops into your head. There's no warning.
'That's very good!' replied the interviewer. 'And, now you sir?', he asked the second man.
'Hmmm...let me see 'A blink! It comes and goes and you don't know that it ever happened. A BLINK is the fastest thing I know of.'
'Excellent!' said the interviewer. 'The blink of an eye, that's a very popular cliché for speed.' He then turned to the third man, who was contemplating his reply.
'Well, out at my dad's ranch, you step out of the house and on the wall there's a light switch. When you flip that switch, way out across the pasture the light on the barn comes on in less than an instant. 'Yep, TURNING ON A LIGHT is the fastest thing I can think of'.
The interviewer was very impressed with the third answer and thought he had found his man. 'It's hard to beat the speed of light,' he said.
Turning to Tom the retired Toolpusher, the fourth and final man, the interviewer posed the same question.
Old Tom replied, 'After hearing the previous three answers, it's obvious to me that the fastest thing known is DIARRHEA.'
'WHAT!?' said the interviewer, stunned by the response.
'Oh sure', said Tom. 'You see, the other day, I wasn't feeling so good, and I ran for the bathroom, but before I could THINK, BLINK, or TURN ON THE LIGHT, I had already messed my pants.'
Tom the retired Toolpusher is now the new greeter at a Wal-Mart near you!

The Oil and Gas Exploration and Production Industry has historically been a very cyclical industry that fatigues even the best of equipment and personnel. If we as an industry do not invest in health, education and welfare programs,
we will lose our most valuable assets...... our hard working people.
Oilfield Appreciation Days support Oilfield Worker Health, Education and Welfare efforts, locally and abroad..
Our Mission:
Oilfield Appreciation Days are held through-out the year in areas with high concentrations of oilfield families. These events will serve as fundraisers that will in turn be used to benefit a variety of health, education and welfare programs and charities that stay in direct contact with oilfield workers and their families

A great game for any skill level! If you can bowl or play darts, you can play TopGolf. Score points by hitting balls (assigned to you using our microchip technology) into any target. The closer to the center and the farther the distance you hit the ball, the more points you earn. If your ball reaches any shaded area, your next ball is eligible for double points. 
Points are multiplied in this high-scoring version of TopGolf that rewards you for going big. The farther the target you hit and the closer you get to the center flag, the more points you’ll receive. For example, hit the center of the white target, and you’ll receive 60 points (6 points for hitting the center section and a point multiplier of 10 for the white target).
Use those wedges and sharpen your short game! This game uses just the red target (five shots), yellow target (five shots) and green target (10 shots). Hit the correct target and you’ll score points, but hit the wrong target and watch your points disappear.
See how you perform under pressure, and test your touch and accuracy by hitting all nine sections within the yellow target. Feeling good because you closed out the whole target? Not so fast! There are two more levels with points worth 2X and 10X the section amount. Be careful not to hit the same section twice in these levels or you'll lose points.
Similar to TopChip, this game challenges you to hit the targets at four consecutive distances (five shots each). The starting point you choose (red, yellow, green or brown target) determines the game’s level of difficulty. Reach the correct target and you’ll score points, but hit the wrong target and say goodbye to those points..
Show your driver who’s boss and take aim at just the pink and black targets. Not for the faint of heart, this game challenges even the most experienced golfers.
