The three generations of my family DID graduate from Harvard. That was for real.

And I was only partially playing evil onion. Even I have my limits. My sister once had a minimally paying gig playing a cartoon character for some ghetto kids from NJ. Surprise cameo guest of honor was a pre-candidate Donald Trump. He flew in to the fairgrounds on a helicopter. He told the ghetto kids, who probably had no idea who he was, other than that he was rich, “you work hard, and some day, you’ll be rich and have your own helicopter like me.” Whereupon, he turned around, got back into his helicopter, and flew off. He could have created a lot less ill will by never showing up at all.
