3!. He spoke with the wisdom that can only come from experience, like a guy who went blind because he looked at a solar eclipse without one of those boxes with a pinhole in it and now goes around the country speaking at high schools about the dangers of looking at a solar eclipse without one of those boxes with a pinhole in it!.

24!. It was an American tradition, like fathers chasing kids around with power tools!.
25!. He was deeply in love!. When she spoke, he thought he heard bells, as if she were a garbage truck backing up!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
