Oil and poop related?

Have you heard the latest reason about why oil prices have hit a new record?

Apparently some big wig in a building somewhere says that there may be supply shortages if something happens in Iran (think attack, battles, war, etc.).

Apparently a number of conditionary phrases now warrant speculation which has a direct effect on my debit card.

But why is it only oil that is effected by these conditionary statements?

Why not concern about, well, ME?

My stomach is sending my brain messages telling me that I may be headed to the bathroom with some urgency due to the copious amounts of meat I've eaten in the past 24 hours. In other words, if my stomach isn't totally fucking with me, I may have to poop soon but I don't see news stories about my impending need for Charmin.

And then the "crisis" passes, but for some reason the price doesn't go down again.

My broker sent me. Apparently someone here is selling futures in poop?

What I love is when they blame the price increase on the unrest in Iran and Nigeria. I mean, has there ever been rest in those countries? Seems to me they've been fighting for centuries.

But your post goes along with my theory that the price of oil increases every time someone farts in the Middle East.
