This morning, we talked a lot about Joe and the library. Joe hasn't read all the books. Nobody reads all the books. The library is living proof that Joe shops while he's hungry. You know, if you ever want an example of shopping when you're hungry, go in that library and look at some of those things that are in there. See? We're hungry, hungry entrepreneurs. We are hungry, hungry entrepreneurs. Anybody know this game? Hungry Hungry Hippos. Hungry Hungry Hippos. This is the most annoying game in the history of mankind. You know, it's all over the place. Just put your hand in, grab the marbles out that you need, and be done with it, you know? But the fun is in the chaos. The fun is in the aggravation. The fun isn't doing. No. Just get what you need from the hungry, Hungry Hippos.
