The best story I have comes from my grandfather:

He was putting together a prospect in concordia parish, the landowners were all low income on gonvernment assistance. They were unwilling to sign leases because they were afraid the bonus payment would disqualify them from receiving their govenment check, so the landman had to go back to town, went to a used car dealership, bought the cheapest used cars they had, went to the local college, recruited a handful of students to drive, and went back to the landowners. Whoever signed a lease received a car.

Baron, it has only gotten worse down there. Tobacco Road. I heard that none of the offshore O&G companies will hire anyone from that neck of the woods because so many from there have filed suit for personal injury. They have no problems with cousins getting married, got to remember its where Jerry Lee Lewis is from.
