Farmers Planting Less Corn

"I'm sorry; people have been putting corn in their cars? Did I fall asleep and wake up 500 years in the past?"
Sam Reese,

"I'm surprised how quickly the farmers were able to master OPEC-style supply and demand manipulation."
Larry Kemmis,
Secretary
"I knew the day would come when a corndog would lend me an air of affluence."
