Well, not water maybe but beer. I guess when you are the last Canadian team in the playoffs and you come from a wealthy beer swilling province, you run the risk of causing a beer shortage.
We have it soooo easy when our biggest social problems are shortages of beer during sport playoffs. I guess it should be suprise that excess is "in". You get hours and hours of poker on TV now, encouraging people to go out and be like their card playing heros, go "all-in".
I'm "all-in" alright.
This is a neat post I came across when searching for "not a drop to drink" in google.
I found one here too that made a claim about 800 galons of water per grease puck. I dunno how the math adds up for this one, but I thought the "puck" reference tied nicely back into the original post topic.
Water water everywhere

the_Plow, Pecan and I were down at the Weir last night. In addition to a striking formation of Pelicans and a hapless log cycling though the Trap, we also saw one of the many sewer outlets where yesterday's 1,141,223 gallons of rainwater rejoined the 4.5 gallons I sent down the drain to the Avenue H Water Treatment Plant.
Fastfoodalists are up in arms over this "...wanton use of Earth's children's precious resource. Why, over the course of a year over 133 million gallons of water will be used by rainclouds in Saskatoon. That's like flushing 158,500 burgers down the toilet!"
A NASA spokesdroid pointed out that it would have to "...rain on Saskatoon for 42,000 years just to make enough burgers to reach to the moon and back once."
A mathematician helpfully noted that if you started counting right now, you would reach 1,343,545,370,982 by the time the last of those burgers was flipped.
A Civil Engineer said "That's about equal to the number of grains of sand in a piled dumptruck!"
An accountant observed that the Civil Engineer got paid $2.12 for the 3 minutes it took him to work that out.
