Funny story. I had over a week to prepare material and think of something entertaining to talk about, but I didn't do that this week. So, instead I pretty much just winged an entire episode.

* Morons ask stupid question
* Morons that don't believe the answer to their stupid questions
* Morons that get trapped inside of lavatories because they can't negotiate a door
