#2 Well, at least he had a cotton field.
I used to pick kitty lint all summer to afford enough to buy my November carrot. And those were the good years, 12 dollar lint times! Good times indeed. Then the cats grew older, wiser as cats will do, I don't harbour any anger, but the fact is they became difficult to catch. One year I had no carrot, made do with a celery stalk. It was a long time ago, things were different then.

#6 At least you could find cats to pick lint from. We to go to the highway and pick lint from roadkill. During rush hour.

#8 sheeeeeeit. We usedta smear pollen all over our bodies and when completely covered with bees, they'd throw a sack over us. Used to catch 30000-50000 bees at a time, sometimes a Queen. My eyes were taking longer and longer to quit swellin - once it reached 4 months, I said : "Hey! I want at least a dollar an hour pay..."
