Try to understand. Try to understand. Try, try, try to understand: They're a pretty good band.

I would be interested to know which actors give the best return on investment - with similarly mathematical explanations.

I love the idea of naming a band 'Mambo No. 5' but it seems likely that people would actually show up just to boo you.

"No, I think of you as a two-footed elephant… named 'Tendafoot'. "I could power a small city with my whining.""
"I probably could."
