    Can't find the strip, a transcript will have to do[^] Milo: I understand my opponent supports the 55 miles per hour speed limit on our highways. Opus: Saves 50,000 lives per year. I'm definitely in favor of saving lives! Milo: Then maybe my opponent would like to save another 30,000 lives per year by reducing the speed limit to 45. Opus: 45? Milo: Or perhaps save another 25,000 lives by reducing the speed limit to 35! Opus: Well, 35 is pretty slow. Milo: Apparently my opponent would send 55,000 men women and children to fiery mangled deaths so he can zip along to his manicurist at 55! Opus: I DON'T HAVE A MANICURIST! Milo: He probably doesn't. Most mass murderers don't. Hitler didn't. Opus: STOP IT! STOP IT! STOP IT! Milo: Rebuttal? Opus: Uh... Bush is a wimp.

      So did you plagarize on purpose or did it take you twenty years to come up with the same joke? Also, if you had to make love to a man to save his soul, would you prefer to give him oral or anal?

        Any intelligent fool can announce what disgusts him. It takes a touch of genius and a big pair of balls to stfu and do something to make the world a better place.

            That would imply a certain consistency of principle or position. No, ol' Oakman is just a dried-up, washed-out and burned-out old "troll," who constant sees himself in others[^]. Also, your sig-line offends him (but then, soap and water offends him). I myself wouldn't even begin to hazard a junior psychoanalysis "explanation" of just why it offends him; and, in any event, he generally has cornered the market on unsought junior psychoanalysis "explanations."

              Oh he's an old hand a plagarizing. I caught him at it awhile back. What's interesting is that he tends to try to steal jokes from others. Apparently he's aware of his lack of wit.
