Ken: (at the door) One day you'll realize there's more to life than culture. There's dirt, and smoke, and good honest sweat!

Dad: Get out! Get out! Get OUT! You ... LABOURER!

Now some openly talk of dropping out, learning TIG welding, waiting tables at Waffle House or draining oil at Jiffy Lube; some even hint of enrolling at Iowa State.



Ouch, that's gotta leave a mark!

I hate to say this because it is my liberal sister-in-law's favorite expression...but "IT'S BRILLIANT".

Really, really funny!

"It was one day last spring," says Ellen McCormack. "My life partner Carol and I were in the garage, working on a giant Donald Rumsfeld papier mache head for the Bay Area March Against the War, when Rain walked by.

LOL!

LOL! You are a genius!

I particularly liked the image of Ellen working on her papier mache giant puppet of Donald Rumsfeld. I almost spit my coke on the keyboard!

Thanks for an afternoon laugh!

Dead-on and absolutely brilliant! Ridicule is the best weapon against arrogance.
