Pack of crazy fools...listening to the young folks, nothing's good enough for them. Next

live that way for a while. Used to be a saying about 'Lottery in June, corn be heavy soon.'

First thing you know, we'd all be eating stewed chickweed and acorns. There's always

been a lottery." - Old Man Warner (The Lottery)
