Quote #10
"But I think that once you quit hearing 'sir' and 'ma'am,' the rest is soon to foller."
Ed Tom's El Paso friend is convinced that the slow slide into total chaos begins with the little things. For example, he thinks that young people should call their elders by "sir" and "ma'am" and he's convinced that once society starts sliding on these little things, it's not long before everything will end in chaos. Um, okay, dude. We think this guy is finally out-nostalgia-ing Ed Tom, which is saying something.
