[QUOTE="Buffalobob, post: 104832, member: 8"] [b]Re: Why is it \'bbl\' ?[/b] Brown dog should go hide in the closet. It is all his fault in the first place. It stands for "British Barrel" and was used to replace the term "hogshead" because people did not like buying a hogshead of beer. It just sounded bad to be drinking beer from a hogshead. BBL is now used to measure how much oil it takes to fill up a big tanker ship so when it it is all spilt into the ocean nobody understand just how much was spilt. All of y'all have distracted me from getting a windmeter ordered and now my daily schedule is all shot. [/QUOTE]
