Yes.

And my response and his sarcasm are mutually exclusive.

There are many that really think what he wrote. Not realizing what the philosophy really enables them to do everyday. Just saying.

My doctor told me I needed to stop masturbating.  I asked him why, and he said, "because I'm trying to examine you."

I had no idea what half the lyrics were when I was growing up.  Now I have looked them up and still have no idea what the song is about.  It's like "American Pie", except suckier.

You meet a man on the Oregon Trail. He tells you his name is Terry. You laugh and tell him: "That's a girl's name!" Terry shoots you. You have died of dissin' Terry.
