Stinky, I've been wondering. If this were a Horatio Alger novel, would I be the rural boy trying to make it as a shoe-shine or newsboy in the city and would you be my older male sponsor?
What? What are you on about today, Nutboy?
Horatio Alger, dumbass. You know, the guy who wrote all those late 19th century penny novels about young men rising to prominence through hardwork and a sponsor?
Oh, you mean the guy who wrote Ragged Dick.
Heh heh. Made you say Ragged Dick.
*sigh* Yes, folks, we're like modern philosophers, only with dick jokes.
