Because I'm just that evillllll....... (deep bass, reeeeveeeerrrrbbb......)

I'd like to transliterate one of my favorite "so awful it's awesome" Dave Barry jokes. He describes going fishing with his son and having to explain that worms really don't feel any pain when their speared onto a hook. Dave also says that they show their pain very convincingly with all that coiling and twisting around. He feels that they do a much better job at showing emotion without words than mimes. Dave also admits that to really know for certain, someone would have to do an experiment that involves baiting a hook with a live mime. He calls for a show of hands from the reading audience, then says "I thought so!" when, presumably, the entire reading audience raised their hands.
