[SEL] When is it an oil field engine?

[Dave Rotigel]

If an owner tells you that his engine is "an oilfield engine" then it is so.
Who are you (or I) to challenge the owners culture and parentage? This is
(particularly) true if the owner is a black man who is also a democrat!

PS, This is a GREAT thread for Dolly's GEM column!
