"But ah'm not afraid of dyin'. Cause I know that when I get to heaven there are gonna be these wonderful trees, and ah'm gonna climb them. But you know what? Instead of leaves and flowers, those trees are gonna have fried eggs, and delicious Virginia ham, and big heaping bowls of biscuits and sausage gravy. And one day, Sammy, you're gonna meet me there, and we're gonna climb those breakfast trees together, and it's gonna be delicious and we're gonna be happy until the end of time."

No Time for the Old In-Out, Love, Just Here to Read the Meter

Why am I not surprised?
Also, my new favorite NPR moments go a little like the one I heard this morning:

G.W.: My opponent said yesterday that the world would be better off with Saddam still in power and that's just wrong.
Steve Inskeep: What Kerry actually said was, "Saddam deserves his own place in hell, but the world is not necessarily safer with him in captivity."

If only this type of reporting were the rule, rather than the exception.
