He was wearing a safety-pinned plaid blanket like a sari, he carried a ripped-off teddy bear head under one arm, and he could not, would not accept that "who put the bomp in the bomp bah bomp bah bomp" was just a rhetorical question.

These inquiries have seen me through the tough times, and I'm sure they will you too.
