Achilles' Biological Findings:
|
||
|
||
(1) If a child looks like his father, that's heredity. If he
|
||
looks like a neighbor, that's environment.
|
||
(2) A lot of time has been wasted arguing over what came first
|
||
-- the chicken or the egg. It was undoubtedly the rooster.

Reefers and roach clips and papers and rollers
|
||
Cocaine and procaine for twenty year molars
|
||
Reds and peyote to work out your bugs
|
||
These are a few of my favorite drugs.
|

Uppers and downers and methedrine freakout

Take some amphetamines, watch your brains leak out

Acid and mescaline pull out your plugs
|
||
These are a few of my favorite drugs.
|
||
|
||
Backs that are perfect for carrying monkeys
|
||
Users of heroin, often called junkies
|
||
Methadone helps then to stop being thugs
|
||
Takes them off one of my favorite drugs.

They [District Attorneys] learn in District Attorney School that there
|
||
are two sure-fire ways to get a lot of favorable publicity:
|
||
|
||
(1) Go down and raid all the lockers in the local high school and
|
||
confiscate 53 marijuana cigarettes and put them in a pile and hold
|
||
a press conference where you announce that they have a street value
|
||
of $850 million. These raids never fail, because ALL high schools,
|
||
including brand-new, never-used ones, have at least 53 marijuana
|
||
cigarettes in the lockers. As far as anyone can tell, the locker
|
||
factory puts them there.
|
||
|
||
(2) Raid an "adult book store" and hold a press conference where you
|
||
announce you are charging the owner with 850 counts of being a
|
||
piece of human sleaze. This also never fails, because you always
|
||
get a conviction. A juror at a pornography trial is not about to
|
||
state for the record that he finds nothing obscene about a movie
|
||
where actors engage in sexual activities with live snakes and a
|
||
fire extinguisher. He is going to convict the bookstore owner, and
|
||
vote for the death penalty just to make sure nobody gets the wrong
|
||
impression.

Safety Tips for the Post-Nuclear Existence
|
||
|
||
1. Never use an elevator in a building that has been hit by a nuclear
|
||
bomb; use the stairs.
|
||
2. When you're flying through the air, remember to roll when you hit
|
||
the ground.
|
||
3. If you're on fire, avoid gasoline and other flammable materials.
|
||
4. Don't attempt communication with dead people; it will only lead to
|
||
psychological problems.
|
||
5. Food will be scarce; you will have to scavenge. Learn to recognize
|
||
foods that will be available after the bomb: mashed potatoes,
|
||
shredded wheat, tossed salad, ground beef, etc.
|
||
6. Put your hand over your mouth when you sneeze; internal organs will
|
||
be scarce in the post-nuclear age.
|
||
7. Try to be neat; fall only in designated piles.
|
||
8. Drive carefully in "Heavy Fallout" areas; people could be
|
||
staggering illegally.
|
||
9. Nutritionally, hundred dollar bills are equal to ones, but more
|
||
sanitary due to limited circulation.
|
||
10. Accumulate mannequins now; spare parts will be in short supply on
|
||
D-Day.
