    Just take out a map and a globe, you'll figure it out.
    Now I don't know what to believe!

    My eyes, or my eyes!

    Someone is trying to trick me into thinking that a straight line is actually curved or a curved line is actually straight!!

    Another sign the Apocalypse is nigh!!!

    I like like that word, "NIGH"!

    I think I'll use it again in another sentence!!

    YOUR DOOM IS NIGH!!!!!

    Ha! Am I cool, or not!!!

    DONT'T ANSWER THAT! OF COURSE I'M COOL!! EVERYONE KNOWS THAT!

    As a person who believes a curved line is actually a straight line just because you look at it side ways, it is clear your views are all slightly sideways!

    I would say you are over-indulgent BECAUSE you are apathetic!

    Phillips heads suck and so do the horses they rode in on!

    Whoever invented Phillips heads was clearly trying to over-compensate for his smaller than normal Phillip, which was also clearly, UNTRIMMED, so to speak!

    Everything is in decline in America, except for decline, of course, which is on a steady and continuous incline!

    At least we are succeeding at something these days!

    Yeah!!!!

    I reject your reality, my reality and all realities. I even reject my rejection of all realities.

    Ooooooooh! NOW I know how a straight line is really a curved line and a curved line is really a straight line!

    Very ingenious!!

    My perfection is NIGH!!!!!
