The Arrival of the Quantum Deer

 

Kasper Gutman: "You're a close-mouthed deer?"

Deer: "Nah, I like to talk."

Kasper Gutman: "Better and better. I distrust a close-mouthed deer. He generally picks the wrong time to talk and says the wrong things. Talking's something you can't do judiciously, unless you keep in practice."

[sits back]

Kasper Gutman: "Now, deer. We'll talk, if you like. I'll tell you right out, I am a man who likes talking to a deer who likes to talk."

Deer: "Swell. Will we talk about the yellow wall?"

Jailbreak

There was a Zebra of mine on murder

And the judge's gavel fell

Jury found it guilty

Gave the Zebra sixteen years in hell

The Zebra said "I ain't spending my life here

I ain't living alone

Ain't breaking no rocks on the chain gang

I'm breakin' out and headin' home

Gonna make a jailbreak

Got to be free

Jailbreak, let me out of here

Jailbreak, sixteen years

Jailbreak, had more than I can take

Jailbreak, yeah"
