I’m sitting here, in the boiling heat, leaning over my George Foreman Grill of a laptop, paying bills and listening to British comedian Rob Newman’s take on the history of oil.

If it would help, I can roll a giant boulder over the hole once you’re in.

Contortionism is, in itself, very rarely enough, Ted.
