Didn't they add led to gasoline till someone figured it was poisoning the world?
So they said the would remove led from gasoline and raised prices for taking out the led that they put in? How did they get it into light bulbs? Is it a carry over from kerosene lamps?
I knew we would get back to the big jokes

Here, however, as in other cases, we are inclined to think that intelligent xenomania is decidedly preferable to the Xenophobia which is of necessity and always unintelligent.

They misused xenomania. It should be xenophilia.
