Mark: “Y’know Canada has more oil than any other country and them bastards are hoarding it from Americans. That’s how they maintain their air of neutrality. It’s a sham. They are ready to gun the f*ck out of anyone who finds out about the oil reserves. Nobody knows a thing about it.”

Al: “If nobody knows about it, how do you know?”

Mark: “Look, all I’m saying is you have people in this country who don’t read and who is to blame? Bush, of course. He doesn’t want black kids in Detroit to learn how to read. Then he’d have no one to be bodyguards for him. That’s how he sees it. It’s all tied back to oil in Canada. You watch the news and see.”

Me: Will you two keep it down? It’s bad enough that you’re loud, but do you have to be loud and stupid?”
