"A Whale" - tied down while oil continues to spill

[Jiro]

good one. never thought of that but it's spot on.

And for those who don't know (but Jiro eventually "got it") I have a very dry sense of humor.

That isn't what I would classify as "dry".

Nope.

It's very clear it wasn't meant to be straight-face.

I thought they were talking about a whale tied down at the dock to stay away from the oil spill or something until I realized that was a boat's name.

Giant oil skimmer 'A Whale' deemed a bust for Gulf of Mexico spill | NOLA.com

BP's use of chemical dispersants prevented A Whale, billed as the world's largest skimmer, from collecting a "significant amount" of oil during a week of testing that ended Friday.

...A Whale would be more effective with thicker concentrations of oil than the widely dispersed slick emanating from BP's Macondo well.

Su emphasized that his company absorbed all costs to convert and test the tanker. He vowed to continue refining the mega-skimmer for use in future spills.

"We intend to put what we have learned to good use as part of a global solution to oil spill response wherever future incidents may occur," Su said.

It's good only if dispersants are not used. Good luck with that.
