I hate them, too, but they beat the alternative. Take this issue very,
very seriously indeed, my friend.

I used to laugh about masks and so forth, which is why I now have oxygen
piped into my bedroom, and carry a tank in the car.

Puts one in mind of an old Jody call from a place near San Diego:

"Hey Ba-pa-loo-ba, **** Team, Baby... I joined up for this job, people
think I'm crazy... I came here to be one frogman stud, But now all I'm
doin' is droppin' in the mud..."
