Kind of reminds me of the time Liz and I were served at a (cafe-type) sitdown restaurant by someone who had probably smoked pot fairly recently. They actually weren't that bad as a server, but the red eyes, the vacant looks, and the general demeanor kind of gave it away. They didn't smell of pot, though, so I'm guessing it must have been start of shift and they had smoked up before they got to work.
All right, I’ve been thinking, when life gives you lemons, don’t make lemonade! Make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don’t want your damn lemons! What am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life’s manager! Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons! Do you know who I am? I’m the man whose gonna burn your house down – with the lemons! I'm gonna get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!

I think we should all turn over a new leaf and permanently refrain from puns.

Is the earth coming to an end tomorrow, and someone just forgot to tell me?

No we'd know, someone in Australia would have told us by now.

it without regard for its personal cost to you."

You'd be so lucky. Most of them would be off their nut.
