Great show, guys. Sorry for taking so long to pick up the Skype call, and for giving you such an editing job because of my colourful language. Hang on, was that actually swearing or is it just a anatomical term?

Hey, guys!

I would be afraid of choking on sticky bubble-gum if I were to swallow it, but I'll bet it doesn't really do any harm once it's down.

But, Jon, if you really want to dispose of your gum safely and neatly, why not treat it like your p** and put it in a bag and stuff it in your satchel?

I'm assuming none of you are from the Midwest USA, you may not be familiar with detassling corn. the job entails reaching up and pulling the tassles off the very top of the corn in the field. we started at 530am when the corn was dewey wet and cold. by noon the corn was dried to razor-sharp itch-leaf-blades. it was a job that a 13-16 year old kid could get for $4.60 per hour. if you have never seen a corn field in iowa before, they are huge. they can by over one mile long, and we walked down every row.
