10/13   Why was Sir Walter Raleigh such a stupid git?
        \_ you're so tired?
            \_ yes and yes, but i'd still like to know what if anything
                J.L. meant.
                \_ Sir Walter Raleigh was the founder of North Carolina
                   and is credited with starting the tobacco growing
                   industry. I think there is/was also a cigarette brand
                   called "Sir Walter Raleigh", so it's unclear if he's
                   cursing the man or the brand of cigarettes or both.
        \_ Because he was stuck in a 5 pound can?
           \_ Do you have Prince Albert in a can?
              \_ Is your refrigerator running?
                 \_ Can I speak to Seymore Butts, please?
        \_ http://www.infoplease.com/ce6/people/A0841030.html
           Read the story of his life. I think it would be obvious
           why someone might say that about him.
