For more fun with Johnnie Walker Blue, add one Rohit Khare, one Narita

Some people see the bottle as half empty.
Room sees the bottle as half full.
I see the bottle as twice as big as it should be.

Marge: I know you think the junior campers are square and uncool, but
they also do a lot of neat things, like sing-a-longs and flag
ceremonies.
Homer: Marge, don't discourage the boy. Weaseling out of things is
important to learn. It's what separates us from the animals.
Except the weasels, of course.
