Mike's mom: Mikey, have you heard about the way-of-life farm bill? Mike: Sure, mom. It's been all over the news. Mom: Well, Senator Nickles asked me to come testify on its behalf. Mike: Gee. I don't know, mom. Are you sure our farm really qualifies? Mom: Of course it does, Mikey. Your uncle and I haven't had a profitable crop in years. We're fighting for our lives, dear.
