George Carlin would agree with the kid. Part of his joke/rant was something like “Have you ever looked inside a tomato? It looks like God isn’t finished with it yet.”
A slightly better version: “You have to settle with the past, engage in the present, and believe in the future.”Kate Baker, in “Cheaper by the Dozen 2”
Tipping the executioner was good form. You were paying for a clean cut on the first strike of the axe. I don’t know if this changed with the guillotine.
Not yet anyways.
