Well, actually the cook was out of lard for cooking so Bernard recommended the oil he found outside just inside the saddle tanks. He forgot to turn off the valve after taking a cup or two. With that said, we are not only out of fuel, we have a long trail of oil leading the destroyers right to us not to mention the entire crew is hurling up their lunch. Another fine mess Bernard has gotten us into......
