...Pods. Asses, even the mock-ass Bottom of .4 Midsummer Night's Dream. enjoy eating peas, pods and all. Other live stock also find them delectable. Humans like the green seeds, but not the pods.

It is as if they said, 'We planned to win by sticking a rake handle between Abraham's legs at the fifty-yard mark. It was a good scheme and it seemed sure to succeed. But at the crucial moment we didn...
