Doh! Oil Prices Crash After Ceasefire! Where's My Duff?

Mmm Ceasefire...

Woohoo! Oil prices are going down down DOWN! Apparently this whole Iran Israel kerfuffle is cooling off faster than a donut left in Lenny's cubicle. Some big shot president guy announced a ceasefire and suddenly everyone's all chill about oil. I say 'Good!' Now I can afford more Duff... and maybe even a new TV so I can watch more Krusty the Clown.

Donut Panic! (But Maybe a Little)

So the fancy news folks are saying something about supply disruptions and shipping lanes and...zzzzzzz. Oh sorry! Woke myself up there. Anyway it sounds like if those countries started fighting for real we wouldn't get our precious precious oil. And if we don't get oil how will we drive our cars? And if we don't drive our cars how will we get to the Kwik E Mart for donuts? This is a serious crisis people! But maybe not anymore! Thanks ceasefire!

Strait of What Now?

Apparently there's this place called the Strait of Hormuz. Sounds like something Barney would try to drink after a night at Moe's. Anyway I guess if they close it no oil for anyone! Then we'd all be riding bikes and Ned Flanders would be having a field day. Good thing these countries decided to bury the hatchet... or whatever they were using to fight.

Barclay's Schmarlays! More Like Beer clays!

Some nerds at Barclays probably Milhouse's older cousins were saying that if that Strait of Hormuz thingy closed oil would go up to $100 a barrel! $100! I can't even imagine how much a donut would cost then! It's enough to make you say 'Eat my shorts!' to the world.

Emergency Oil? Excellent!

The International Energy Agency – sounds important I guess – says they have a billion barrels of oil stored away for emergencies. A billion! That's like a swimming pool full of black gold! They better not let Burns get his bony fingers on it. Last thing we need is him powering Springfield with evil energy again.

OPEC+? More Like OPE See Ya Later Expensive Gas!

And get this some oil producing countries are making *more* oil! That's right it's raining oil! Hallelujah! I tell ya maybe I should invest in this oil business... Nah! I'll just stick to donuts. D'oh!
