Or you could, I don't know, build 35 million dollars worth of wells! And we wonder why the world is in a financial crises right now. 35 million dollars for a trip into space to raise awareness for world drinking water issues?

To make the point that there are no moderates, just super-crazies, he says, "It's like when a midget stands next to a Smart Car. You ain't tall, midget! You just clever."

Recaptcha - 39 nerds HA! TXCherokee, I am not as smart as Miss Cellania, I guess, because I can’t figure out what you meant to say.

And that part about the worlds tallest man finding a car reminds me of the Simpson's episode featuring the extremely tall man driving the Beetle - "Everyone needs to drive an automobile, even the very tall" - further proving my theory that everything in life can be referenced to a Simpsons episode.
