          Talk about inflation.

          In the 70s 6 million dollars bought a whole man, now just half a banana.

          The whole reason we call them illegal aliens is because they’re subject to our laws.

                  My understand is that he got the rights to the concept.

                  And, the guy who bought it, ate it.
