"Oh sure."
"So we cruise around for a while. Finally, we find this holy mountain, or some shit like that, way up on top of this hill. And all the time we're driving, we're looking out the goddamn window at these morons walking alongside the jeep.They're just walking! Hundreds of em! So finally, after about an hour or so, we get up to the top of the goddamn hill and its closed!"
"What's closed?"
"The whole thing! The gift shop, the museum, everything but the goddamn ruins is totally closed! So we go into a little snackbar they got up there, I don't know how the hell they got it up there they must have helicoptered it up or something. Anyways, we want to eat now cause wuh nearly starving. So we order a couple sandwiches right? "

"And they bring us this, I don't know what it was, all I knows is, I aint gonna eat it. So I says to the guy, I says, 'I aint gonna eat this shit!"
"Ya got that right! I tell ya, it aint like the old days!"
"Naw, are ya kiddin? Those days is gone for good."
