"It makes me so mad to think that those little bastards are probably enjoying the hell out of themselves as they destroy all my corn."

Black Man

Justin Hall,

"And all this time I thought locust plagues were sent by a vengeful and jealous God. Once again I have been delivered from the dark recesses of ignorance. Praise Jesus!"

Young Man

Erik Poole,
Systems Analyst
"You know, this makes sense. My buddy Craig seems pretty happy, and he's always surrounded by thousands of locusts."
