To paraphrase Cave Johnson, "Alright, I've been thinking. When Randall J. Scalise gives you lemons, don't make lemonade - make Randy take the lemons back! Get mad! I don't want your damn lemons, what am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see Randy's manager. Make Randy rue the day he thought he could give Cave Johnson lemons. Do you know who I am?
