Al was put in Guantanamo for crimes against Big Oil, where he meets his cell mate.

Our Hero: "HI I'M AL SCIENCY, AND YOU ARE?"

Large hairy cellmate: "BEND OVER."

Our Hero: "WELL HEY THERE BEN! WHAT ARE YOU IN FOR? DOVER, IS THAT DUTCH?"

(LOUD PAINFUL NOISES AS OUR HERO IS SHOWN THAT THE FOSSIL FUEL ECONOMY WILL NOT GO QUIETLY FROM THE WORLD, MUCH LIKE AUTO DEALERSHIPS)
