See, it's that book learnin' that gets us in trouble. We should just stop educating kids alltogether. Keep those fancy ideas out of their heads. How we gonna keep them on the farm...
This is based on my years of experience of being set up and lied to.

I ain't buying this crapola. But feel free to believe as you wish, I'll not stand in your way.

Am I great guy or what?

Chas, brother, I am with you there. Crazy that we're fighting wars, destroying our environment and screwing up the economy when technology gave us an answer to the problem of making energy years ago. Of course it's those Scientists who came up with it, and what do they know?

They do get a lot of things right. And as much as I distrust doctors, they can work miracles at times.

But I'm with Rob on the mammograms and biopsies. My wife went through the same thing and came home looking like she had suffered a gunshot wound to the chest. Seriously. I think she is through with them on that score. I could tell you of several times that they've brutalized her with tests.

Myself, when I'm wounded I go to the liquor store.

My wife is through with them and our doctor knows it. She has already had too much radiation in her life, I could tell you why but then I would have to shoot you.

I have garbage to burn in the morning. And if this ball of uranium burns up of it's own accord then bring it on. Where's the A1?
