Caption:	Once upon a time there was a boy named Edison. Edison was destined for greatness. Scientists around the globe would one day herald his keen intellect and brilliant inventiveness. He labored tirelessly for the good of mankind. Unfortunately, his ideas were seen by some as too radical or dangerous. Soon Edison found himself ensnared in a hopeless tangle of bureaucratic red tape. The fate of the world now hung in a delicate balance - its future uncertain. Tap. Tap. Tap. Very funny! Your father and I just didn't want you blowing up our basement. Fearing the wrath of the oppressive ruling party, he considered seeking asylum with - Your aunt Jean doesn't want you blowing up her basement either.

Caption:	These guys are hilarious! Don�t you see the symbolism? The steep stairs represent life. The heavy piano is our mortality. Their long uphill struggle is constant and overwhelming. It's really a very grim film. No, you're a very grim person. Why do you think they always wear black hats? Huh? It's a black and white movie. Maybe they're red.

Caption:	Do you guys have a hero? I do: the world's smartest guy, Stephen Hawking. He's given so much of himself despite having lost so much. Luann? I'm not sure what a "hero" is. Who's yours, Delta? Oprah Winfrey. She went from miserable poverty to being the first black female billionaire in history. And she's the most philanthropic celebrity in America. Oprah inspires me to excel. That's what a hero is, Luann. Someone who makes you do more than you'd normally do. Oh, my mom, then. She writes the chores list.

Caption:	I love the suspense of having a lottery ticket and waiting to see if I've won. It gives me a sense of hope towards life. Until I check my numbers and find out I'm not rich. Then I feel hopeless again. So, I'm thinking, the way to have hope in life is not to check your lotto numbers! I hope you never have to write a pep speech.

Seriously � something worse than public speaking is waiting for you just around the corner. Any history of cancer in your family? No. Heart disease? No. Well, I'm sure something will come up. Lemont, your custody battle is hopeless. Give up now. Sorry, Your Lawyer. YES!

Caption:	Confession: When I realized I was in a hopeless relationship while you were in love with that Dick Fink, that loser from your office, I wanted to die.

Caption:	Swallow this pill now, Lemont. It's an antipsychotic. It's your last chance. Swallow it and you'll wake up in Sunnyville Sanitarium. Everything will be normal again. Don't swallow it, and your hallucinations that you're some sort of epic hero will worsen. You'll sink into paranoia, see demons everywhere, and plummet into a dark, hopeless chasm of insanity and drool. Do you have chewables? I have a gag reflex, so I'd rather ... TAKE THE PILL!
