“I truly believe (America is) a lot more eccentric a nation than you give yourselves credit for.  You’re much weirder than you think you are, and I can give you proof of this.  Recently, I went to Boise, Idaho for the first, and, God willing, final time.  But there is something in Boise that I will never forget: in the center of Boise, on the main street, there’s this huge building, and on the front of the building, in gigantic yellow letter, there’s this one word, and that word is ‘LIBRARY.’  And then, there’s an exclamation mark!  And I spent hours trying to figure out what that exclamation mark was really trying to say.  Was it, ‘I know, I can’t believe Boise’s got a library either!’ …Or was it ‘LIBRARY!  Just kidding, it’s a Chuck E. Cheese’?”
