Philosophy 101




My philosophies:


"...I'm the enemy. 'Cause I like to think. I like to read. I'm into freedom of speech and freedom of choice. I'm the kind of guy who likes to sit in a greasy spoon and wonder, Gee, should I have the T-bone steak or the jumbo rack of barbecued ribs with a side order of gravy fries? I want high cholesterol. I wanna eat bacon and butter and buckets of cheese, okay? I wanna smoke a Cuban cigar the size of Cincinnati in the non-smoking section. I wanna run through the streets naked with green Jell-O all over my body reading Playboy magazine. Why? Because I suddenly might feel the need to, okay, pal? I've seen the future. You know what it is? It's a forty-seven year old virgin sitting around in his beige pyjamas drinking a broccoli-banana shake singing 'I'm an Oscar Meyer wiener'."
