Linton Perry's most awesome trick is to pop both eyes at once. Then he looks like a chubby lobster ready to go plop into a pot of boiling water. He accomplishes the feat by squnching up the muscles around his eyes...

Prairie Oil & Gas owns almost 2,000,000 acres of rich producing lands in the mid-continent fields but has only a small retailing subsidiary...
