Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee

People say to me, "Ben, you say the state of Tennessee is brain-dead."

And I say "Why, yes...yes I do."

Then they ask "Well, Ben...exactly how brain-dead are they?"

And I reply, "They're so brain-dead, they're going to award delegates to Fred 'Short run, wasn't it?' Thompson even though he's withdrawn from the race. That's how brain-dead."

At this time, I'd like to formally thank the people of Tennessee for so often being the slab of meat to my Rocky Balboa. Don't think I don't appreciate it, people.
