Whichever way you look at it, it is valid to propose that the
moon is made of green cheese. Heck, anybody observing
the moon will note the little circles and other irregularities so
much resembling that thing in the back of my refrigerator.
Smart people have said the moon was made of green cheese.
In fact, the bible even mentions something about green cheese
--somewhere, I swear I've seen it. Those silly astronauts that
visited recently forgot to bring any of the stuff back with them
and opted instead to fill their buckets with boring old rocks --
shame on them (they're not *real* scientists). So finally, it is
valid to suggest that the moon is made of green cheese and that
further study will yeild bits of cheese and thus make my
pronouncements, along with some other factors, a productive
line of inquiry --instead of the load of manure that that crazy, foul-
mouthed, and nothing-if-not-impolite Mike Clark says it is.
