In closing: “Nation, I’m sure you’ve all purchased this photo of me on the cover of Esquire. I look good. But strangely, I have some mixed feelings about it. You see, I thought the magazine was comparing me to the Christian martyr, St. Sebastian, and I figured this was the first step towards sainthood. I immediately went to the DMV and tried to get Saint added to my driver’s license. No go. Apparently the photo is a reference to a 1968 Esquire cover featuring draft dodger Muhammad Ali.
Now, I like being compared to one of the most famous men in the history of the world. He was the greatest, I am also the greatest. He floated like a butterfly and stang like a bee, I soar like an eagle and sting like an eagle with a scorpion in its mouth. But on the other hand, Ali was stripped of his title in 1968 for refusing to serve in Viet Nam. I tried to enlist in 1968, and I was only 4. And Muhammad? That’s a Muslim name, if you’re going to compare me to a famous boxer, at least make it an American hero like Cassius Clay. Whatever happened to that guy? He wins a gold medal and then suddenly disappears.
But I’ve got a solution, Nation. To avoid all that confusion, just stick the first couple of pages together and turn directly to this ad. Whoo boy! Feel free to compare me to that guy! I know I will later tonight. Good night everybody!”

OFEC
Gas station owners never expected the price of gas to get this high, so no one bought enough number fours for the signs. No one that is, except for Stephen!
