fuck pluto

SOMETHING I READ: Pluto is actually not as planet.

ME: Really? How come?

SOMTHING I READ: Well, a planet is defined as any body in the Solar System that is more massive than the total mass of all of the other bodies in a similar orbit. Pluto doesn't fit that definition.

ME: Oh. Word up.

STRANGER: You hear that they're trying to say pluto isn't a planet?

ANOTHER STRANGER: Who?

S: I dunno. Some egghead assholes.

AS: What do they know? Pluto was a planet when I was growing up, and everyone knows plutos a planet.

S: Yeah but they're going to change that.

AS: You mean they'll like change the books and school stuff?

S: They want to.

AS: That's nuts! That'll be really expensive, and the gumm'ent's taken enough of my money!

S: I know.

AS: And then what am I supposed to tell my kid, in school? What if they tell my son pluto isn't a planet! He'll think I'm stupid, grow up not respecting his father, and unless I beat him regularly he'll turn into a hippie or a gay!

S: I know. you figure these "super-smart" scientists would be smart enough to know the trouble they're causing. Well, they passed laws in some states to make sure pluto is still a planet.

AS: At least some people are sane.
