Oil is disgusting. You can't eat it. But you can eat Maple Syrup! And we in America can't get enough of it. So why bother piping in more oil? We have plenty of reserves and are finding new home based oil reserves every day.
We propose to drop all notions of building an environmentally unstable and prone to spillage pipeline, namely the Keystone XL Pipeline, and replace it with the Maplestone XL Pipeline.
We also propose that if Mitch McConnell, Republican senate majority leader, doesn't agree with this plan, then we like trap him in hardened maple syrup just like the mosquito encased in amber in Jurassic Park. The syrup'd politician would stand at the border of Canada/USA beside the pipeline as a testament to those who stood in the way of our favorite & glorious golden pancake condiment.
