"The Dirtbags were cool. Really cool. Amazingly COOL. The Dirtbags were so cool that if they met Cool say, in a park or on a street, Cool would stop, wide-eyed, open mouthed and whisper in a voice filled with awe and wonder, “YOU’RE SOOOO COOL,” and The Dirtbags would simply reply, “We know,” and keep walking. In a REALLY COOL WAY.
OK. THAT’S A LIE. The Dirtbags are not cool. Or are they......"
