Texas Rules

DALLAS
(Reuters) – An East Texas woman struck oil a strange way when she came
home to find her toilet gushing with the bubblin’ crude.

Liela LeTourneau returned from her work as a nurse on Monday to find oil
gushing out of everything in her house connected to the water drainage
lines, including her kitchen sink and toilet.

The floor of her Longview residence was drenched with a thick coating of
what locals call "Texas Tea."

"There was this black (ooze) coming out from my house. I thought,
‘What have I left on? What has my son left on that’s spilled over?"’
LeTourneau told the local daily Longview News-Journal.

She had moved into
a rental
home due to the oil spill and was not immediately available for comment.

"I was always proud to have an oil derrick in my back yard. Every
Texan should have one," she told the paper. "Now, I don’t know."
