Why the hell do the measure oil in barrels anyway. I've never seen an oil barrel and have no idea how big it is. Is it like a barrel of whisky?
Why can't they give it to us in litres/gallons or something we can understand.
However, I was aware that they hadn't actually discovered ready filled barrels of oil

There has to be a unit of measure and barrels works, it dates back to when the oil was actually transported in barrels.Why can't they give it to us in litres/gallons or something we can understand.

Wife: Do you think that in years to come, people will live on the moon?
Me: Don't know, not in our lifetime, or the kids. I wouldn't worry about it.
W: Ok, does the sun shine on the moon?
M: What?
W: Couldn't solar energy panels go on the moon to power the earth?
M: Um, well..Ok, how are you going to get the energy back to earth?
W: Long cables?
I can tell when these thoughts are going round in her head before she mentions them and I usually get out of the way before she has a chance to talk about it as I find it very hard to keep a straight face. However when she talks about these things when I am driving it makes it a challenging journey.

My girlfriend has had a few recently, one of which was booking us into a hotel in Wetherby for new years, turns out she got confused with Whitby and assumed Wetherby was by the sea so instead of waking up for a walk down the beach we woke up with a lovely view of the A1(M)!
The other night while watching a film she asks me to turn the light off, being a good lad I jumped up and turned off the light switch..
'oh, I didn't want it that dark that quickly' she pipes up.
Well what the hell did you think would happen after I switched the bloody lights off?

Just to expand on the replies so far; in some places you measure it in m3, which you have to multiply by around 6.something to convert to barrels.Why can't they give it to us in litres/gallons or something we can understand.

My girlfriend booked a hotel for us a new years eve as neither of us are big drinking types so we thought we'd go away for the night. Left her in charge of booking the room, she finds a good deal, in wetherby.
We set off to the hotel from Leeds, obviously the drive doesn't take long, upon arriving the gf says 'well that didn't take as long as I thought to get here, where is the sea?'
'Where is the sea?' I asked, 'What do you mean?'
Her: 'Well, wetherby is near the sea isn't it, that's why I booked it, it'll be nice to get up and walk along the beach front, don't you think?'
Me: 'well yes, it would be, but the sea is about 60 miles away from here'
Her: 'No it isn't, Wetherby is a seafront town!!' (Now getting angry)
Me: 'Here babe, look at this map'
Her: 'f
k, I think I meant Whitby....'
It was still a nice break however being by the sea would've been nicer
