young lady in tank top: “So what do you think — does that guy like the earth or what?”

young man in t-shirt: “Yeah — though if I had to guess, I’d say he likes pastry just a teensy bit more.”

young lady in tank top: “– But yeah, it sure does look like Al’s been trading his carbon credits for some 16″ Papa John’s double cheese and sausages.”

young man in t-shirt: “His pants have died for our sins. God bless ‘em…”

    Carbs? I’ve thought the Algoracle weight was the predictable result of inhaling all that sanctimony and/or the bloating from excessive self regard.
