…got several readers thinking about the Simpsons. Some quotes, most even about sugar, from the episode where Homer wants to be a sugar mogul:
“Must protect sugar…thieves everywhere…the strong must protect the sweet…the sweeeeet” -Homer
“In America, first you get the sugar, then you get the power, then you get the women” -Homer
“I want it all – the terrifying lows, the dizzying highs, the creamy middles. Sure, I might offend a few of the blue noses with my cocky stride and musky odors. Oh, I’ll never be the darling of the so-called city fathers who cluck their tongues, stroke the beards, and talk about what’s to be done with this Homer Simpson.” -Homer
Homer: And you didn’t think I’d make any money. I found a dollar while I was waiting for the bus.
Marge: While you were out “earning” that dollar, you lost forty dollars by not going to work. The plant called and said if you don’t come in tomorrow, don’t bother coming in Monday.
Homer: Woo hoo! Four-day weekend!
“We hit the jackpot here…white gold…Texas tea…sweetener!” -Homer
“Read your town charter, boy. ‘If foodstuff should touch the ground, that foodstuff should be turned over to the village idiot.’ Since I don’t see him around, start shoveling!” -Homer
“Oww! They’re defending themselves somehow.” – Homer, while being stung by bees attacking his sugar pile.
Beekeeper 1: “To the beemobile!”
Beekeeper 2: “You mean your Chevey?”
Beekeeper 1: Looks down in shame “Yes.”
“A mountain of sugar is too much for one man. It’s clear now why God portions it out in those tiny packets.” – Homer
