My family is in the swords business and needs most of your monies
We don't want to change our business to the ploughshares business cause
it never made us that much money since you guys give us all we
want for our swords business.

My Brothers have another business right now
that could use your help too, some guy came in the other day and overturned
our tables. He took offense to this (extorting profit from the exchange of monies)
I think we need to crucify that guy.

7. Funny you should compare the U.S. to Rome during the decline of their empire.
They too had a bloated oversized military industrial complex, and a completely corrupt and decadent senate looking out for the top 5 percent and no one else as well.

Like Rome during it's decline; the greedy, the stupid, and the batshit crazy have all taken over the halls of the government as well.

Oh well, off to watch gladiators - er- football game, at the Flavian Amphitheater -er- Qualcomm Stadium. Maybe they'll be giving away some bread with the circuses today...

14. Even though I'm not a Christian, I do agree with Gandhi
“If Jesus came to earth again, he would disown many things that are being done in the name of Christianity.

8. I can fix your sword or your plowshares with my welder, torch, grinder and chrome tank
Wouldn't be like brand new but i could make it even better than brand new in some aspects if you give me enough money for my work :-)

9. Uh .. I'll take swords for $400
Sean Connery: Uh.. I'll take "Swords" for $400.

Alex Trebek: It's actually not "Swords".. these are words that begin with "S". The answer is: "Popeye is this sort of man". < Reynolds buzzes in > Burt Reynolds.

Burt Reynolds: What is.. Popeye?

Alex Trebek: < sighs > No. < Connery buzzes in > Sean Connery. And, remember, these are words that begin with the letter "S", i>not "Swords".
