Emerson

As any non-traditional remedy salesman knows; resistance to the novel and the unconventional is marbled through this country like gristle. If I'm not cutting that gristle, I'm not doing my job.

Emerson

Chuck: Guess what day it is today.

Ned: Yes, and Hola!

Young Ned felt a gnawing pity growing in his stomach. As was tradition.
