The level of violence chosen by the cops is sickening. Why not just talk to the guy?
I’m not going there.
What is it with animals in the pants today?
Do you have any more gerbils on you?
‘On’? Well, not exactly …
Did the man with the hamster pants do a hamster dance?
When a man with snakes in his pants meets a man with gerbils in his pants, the gerbils are eaten gerbils.

Where was Richard Gere when this happened?
