Folks, we have just observed the entire midwest in action. Imagine a
person who brags about having great research libraries amidst a vast
illiterate population and then in the next sentence bashes
intellectuals. Whaddya do with the books, Steve? Use them as skis?

Besides, I don't see how these folks can ski with numb legs. Well,
they can't feel them being pulled anyhow.
