I think about what I'm going to have for dinner while I'm driving.

Are you implying that only people who live in the ghetto drink Coors Light and eat fried chicken?

No, but sometimes I wonder if I turned into a superstring, which of the eleven dimension curled up I would find myself in and if Mapquest would get me out
