thought you would find the below "press release" a bit
humorous............................everyone is always looking to bash
#1...........and from the looks of the cc's, it has made a good loop around
at both Reliant and the Diner.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
-----------------------
Today Enron and Hades announced a definitive energy services agreement said
to be worth an estimated $666 Trillion.
In the deal, Enron will provide both gas and electric commodities to Hades'
facilities throughout and under North America. John D. Rockefeller, former
CEO of energy monopolist Standard Oil, is now head of Hades' energy
management division. Said Rockefeller, "Obviously Hell has significant
heating demands. While eternal flames are a great idea in concept, they
require vast and reliable fuel resources. Enron was the only supplier
willing to make a deal with my boss, and, as a former monopolist, I just
like the way they do business."
A spokesperson for Enron said the two cultures were able to work easily
together during negotiations. According to the company, "The deal fits both
companies exceptionally well. With Hades' ability to attract and retain new
customers, we see this as a fabulous growth opportunity for millennia to
come." According to several energy industry insiders, Hades' high heating
demand with very little need for summer air conditioning make it a very
attractive energy portfolio addition.
Hades is a multinational corporation with millions of sites worldwide and
approximately 173 quintillion customers. The entity boasts sustained high
growth rates over the last two thousand years.
Enron is one of the world's leading energy and communications companies.
The company owns approximately $37 billion in energy and communications
assets. Enron ranks in the top quarter of Fortune's "Best 100 Companies to
Work For if You Can Keep A Job There and Don't Mind Working 80 Hours A
Week," and is among the most respected corporations in America, as ranked by
customers with respect-us-or-get-curtailed clauses in their energy supply
contracts.
