Oil In A Day’s Work

That title’s awful.  And it’s the DUCK’S fault.  He may not have intended me to become obsessed with the punability of my post titles, but I can’t seem to stop now.

Meanwhile, Manila’s police cars will be SPONSORED by McDonald’s.  And this isn’t some sort of bizarre endorsement deal.

Police in Manila are looking to convert their patrol cars to run on a mixture of diesel and used cooking oil from McDonald’s, officials and the company said Tuesday.

With oil prices at crippling highs, the project would convert cars in the Makati financial district to run on a mix of 40 percent diesel and 60 percent cooking oil, its police chief Senior Superintendent Gilbert Cruz said.

Used cooking oil will be donated by Makati outlets of the hamburger giant, said McDonalds franchising manager Buth Salaya.

Other restaurants are also considering donating their used cooking oil as well, Cruz said.

I wonder if they watched THIS.
