Bottled oxygen from Japan

Post by Offerocker » Thu May 18, 2006 7:22 pm

Yup, you heard right! I heard just that much on a news tidbit - that Japan has begun to bottle Oxygen! I don't know if it'll come in a 6-pack or not!?

Hi Offerocker,

Kind of wished you you hadn't brought this up. Not only for the Canadian economy but also for the enormous letdown certain American tourists may have. Don't even mention the American scientific community and the CIA. By the way, are they (CIA) or local/long distance providers monitoring this thread?

You really should keep this under your mask. Seems the American people are always the last to know and this information could just provide additional incentive for the Los Angeles freeway drivers to finally pack it in. Not only could there be rioting in the streets but no place to park as well.

Just so you know, Canada has had a treaty with Japan for years regarding bottled oxygen. And it's not six packs! Full gallon jugs - measured. Up here we call them multi-litre containers. Big stuff, pints and quarts are out the window!

You must know about our Hydro plants in Canada. We have a big one right at Niagara Falls so you've probably heard all abut it. We are the worlds largest producer of hydrogen via these plants.

At first we didn't know what to do with all this hydrogen from the hydro plants. But then, a stroke of genius!! Japan had all this excess oxygen so lets take advantage of the opportunity. What's more, we could also take advantage of our Kodiak Bear cameras. We call them Kodaks for short.

Bottom line is, we trade the Japanese our cameras for their bottled oxygen. We then combine one bottle of their oxygen with two bottles of our hydrogen (gets rid of the hydrogen at twice the rate). This recipe produces pure water which we sell to American tourists on their way to Mexico - where you're not supposed to drink the water (big market with wall climbing gear yet to come). Not only do we get trade surpluses from this end of the business but you can't believe how many Japanese tourists come here to take pictures of our water producing plants with the very same cameras we exported to them.

Thar's gold in them thar hills.

they keep the GOOD STUFF.... whatever gets contaminated with ROCKET FUEL (formula oh-two).... they export. Ask yourself... do you really want to breathe ROCKET FUEL ????? I don't THINK so!!!!! I had a neighbor that breathed japanese oxygen.... highly contaminated with OH-TWO..... lit a match inadvertenly.... launched himself into orbit !! (I suppose it could have been "advertent", I didn't ask).... On clear nights we watch him pass overhead, about every 90 minutes.... Doesn't look real happy.
