evidently, though, there are a whole lot of people who have fallen off the turnip truck,
banged their collective heads, seen stars and jumped on this other bandwagon, which just 
happens to LOok like the turnip truck they just fell off and they're Back on board Again  

trouble is, i've SEEN this movie, and just recently, and those same turnip truck people 
will start 'kvetching'  midway through the picture and complain as to how they don't 
like this 'new way' the turnip truck is heading.

lucky for us, we have the entrenched bureaucracy to save us from our own stoopididitty.

Hi, is this where I write my essay for the test question? Riboflavin-enriched acrobats were sneaking into the dishwasher repair shop, where they all silently put their hands into a large pie. The pie was named Tobias, and there was a nearby houseplant conveniently also named Tobias. Together, we all screamed that we were very itchy, and then later a walnut bounced gingerly across the Toys 'R' Us parking lot. In summary, my lamp is very shapely. Take this lozenge or else I will charge you $0.31 every time you forget to sneeze.
