Infinite MonkeysDR. MONKEYSTEIN: Congratulations on your surprising finish in Wisconsin.
JOHN EDWARDS: Thank you Dr. Monkeystein.
DR. MONKEYSTEIN: Senator Edwards. Why do you think you are surging?
JOHN EDWARDS: I think the people sense my resolve, my toughness, that I will fight for them. To illustrate my point I 'd like to tell you about a job I had before I became a lawyer.
DR. MONKEYSTEIN: And what was that?
JOHN EDWARDS: I was a bullfighter.
DR. MONKEYSTEIN: Really?
JOHN EDWARDS: Yes. Actually, I would still be one if it weren't due to a career-ending injury I suffered in the ring. After that I decided to go to law school.
DR. MONKEYSTEIN: Really?! What happened? How did you get injured?
JOHN EDWARDS: On the Plaza Del Toros in Mexico. It was the wound that ended my career. And, ironically, it wasn't even the bull I was supposed to fight. You see, I was appearing mano a mano with a young matador who froze, and the bull gored him. I jumped to his rescue, and I too, was gored. Badly. Here. They tried to take me to the infirmary along with the young matador , but I refused to go. Despite the blood flowing from my wound, I stayed in the ring and I did one of the best fights of my career. I killed the bull with one thrust. The people loved it. They stood up and gave me an electrifying ovation. Two ears and a tail. That was my last fight.
DR. MONKEYSTEIN: That is incredible! I can why people are voting for you!!! George W. Bush would never get in the ring with a bull.
JOHN EDWARDS: That's what I'm counting on.
