These kids need to be at work in the meat packing plants and the farms delivering us OUR food, learning the value of hard work

Are you crazy!? They owe us for the housing and showers we "provide" on site in this company town. We simply deduct 10 cents per hour from their debt for our generosity.

I had to get up in the morning at 10:00 at night, 1/2 an hour before I went to bed, eat a lump of cold poison, work 29 hours/day down at the mill and pay the mill owner for permission to come work, and when we got home, our mum & dad would kill us and dance about on our graves singing 'Hallelujah'.

Well when I was a kid I had to piss into a lead garden hose and drink out of a public toilet, which I walked up a 95% slope to get to and then up another 95% slope to get home, before having to spank myself because my father had left a year prior for a pack of smokes

Damn, a Python bit I hadn't heard yet. Much appreciated.

Technically it was pre-Python (it originally appeared in "At Last the 1948 Show", which Chapman & Cleese were part of before Python), although it entered the Python repertoire later. I first saw it in "Monty Python Live at the Hollywood Bowl".
