4. You can get a 9-speed bike for $50 (and bike shorts for free!)

5. Time to thaw Walt out!

6. It's easier to shoot someone than read them their Miranda rights

You can get a GRAM of cocaine for 3 dollars. If Barris could extract ounces he wouldn't be living in Arctor's piece of *beep* house, he'd be BAAAAAALLLLIN

No the point is he said a GRAM of cocaine not an ounce, there's a big difference.

40. Taking too much of this drug will make you kill yourself while a disapproving multi-eyed creature from another dimension ceaselessly reads your sins to you in shifts.

41. Future junkies have nothing better to do than to sit at home discussing missing bike gears and assembling experimental silencers.
