Boy: I got an ant farm for my birthday. I kind of dropped it. Now I have a free-range ant ranch.
Frazz: Let me know how your folks buy into that.
Boy: You're the one who told me words have power.
Words have power. So do facts. Possession of facts does not equal intelligence, but intelligence without facts is still ignorance. Ignorance can be cured, but not stupidity.
And soon after that, those “free range” ants were exposed to dangerous radiation, causing them to grow to enormous size, then to invade the sewers of Los Angeles. However, Santa Claus* would lead a team of scientists and military experts that would exterminate the threat (sadly, at the cost of the life of a heroic Harry S Truman*)

When you sum up your life’s accomplishments and failures, at the end of your life, be sure you acknowledge that you took advice from a janitor.

Intelligence isn’t necessarily the same as wisdom..Neither is an impressive resumé.

The parents were the ones that bought the farm in the first place.
