I just can’t. I was born in San Francisco; my parents live there, today.

what did he say when you asked him to leave?

All of this:

Don’t forget Doritos!

And invest heavily in Nabisco, Little Debbie and Hostess.

Take Mary Jane off the Schedule I list and watch crime fall like leaves in October.
