Gentlemen, we are being given 2 trillion dollars to dam the Gulf of Mexico and drain it. I want ideas. Jim, your wife lives in Florida- what do you think?

Sounds good. I'll see if I can't pick up my nephew down in Cancun, he says he should be able to get us a discount on the lumber, plus he's pretty good with a hammer.

Gotta think outside the box here. Building a thousand mile sea wall that goes up to 14k feet deep isn't feasible.

Instead, we need to raise the sea floor so that all the water drains out. As a start, I propose bulldozing Florida directly into the Gulf.

And you can't even build a dam that's connected to anywhere in the southeastern United States because it's all mangroves instead of solid land.

Throw the guys from Chippendales in the middle of the Gulf. They're so hot that the water will turn to steam and evaporate.

If that doesn't work, throw the guys from Thunder from Down Under in the ocean too.

If that still doesn't work, just keep throwing hot guys into the ocean until it does work.
