Hi. It’s nice to see you got out of jail.
Sorry, we don’t sell hard liquor. No, malt liquor either.
Have a great night. I create alcoholics.

Hi. Ok, here’s your Penthouse and Hustler.
Sorry, we don’t carry videos. Don’t know of any strip clubs nearby.
Have a great night. I create sex addicts.

Hi. I see you’re coming here more and more each day.
Sorry, we only have lottery tickets and slot machines here.
Have a great night. I create gambling addicts.

I’m no menace to society.
We merely create them.
