The worst thing about crashing A.J.'s car twice in two days is you still have to go to dinner with him. And he makes you buy, and then he eats your bowl of ice cream, too.

Pounding down toward the yard of bricks...

Ed Carpenter to Tony Kanaan on the suggestion that he was over 40, Gateway, August 24th 2019
