    Some has.

      We get enough engineers and PhDs and someone will design machine that picks the lettuce, and does it better and cheaper than illiterate illegals.

        if that don't work, a few curse words into the phone will sometimes direct you right to a human,
        That's doesn't work as good as it used to, they make it harder to bypass the computer.
        Sometimes I confuse the computer to get a human!

          Always in favor of more people, but fewer jobs and lower wages

              Having a medical degree doesn't make you incapable of tending a garden.

                Yes, but which one of them will be willing to give up doctoring to go grubbing in the dirt ?

                      Now there's a lateral arabesque for you!

                      No -- if other families are hungry, they can start their own gardens.

                                If you do, don't eat the apples. And if you do eat an apple, don't put clothes on -- what's what gave the game away.
