[Interviewer:] This toxic chemical that was involved in the incident in orange county this week…

[Dumbass:] Yeah, the one the valves fell off?

[Interviewer:] Yeah

[Dumbass:] That’s not very typical, I’d like to make that point.

[Interviewer:] Well, how is it untypical?

[Dumbass:] Well, there are a lot of these toxic chemicals going around all the time, and only once every couple years does anything like this happen … I just don’t want people thinking that these chemical tanks aren’t safe.

[Interviewer:] Was this tank safe?

[Dumbass:] Well I was thinking more about the other ones…

I’m not saying it wasn’t safe. It’s just perhaps not quite as safe as some of the other ones.

Monty Python is going to sue that person for infringing on their IP. That's Git of the Year quality right there

Well, some of them are built so that the valves don’t fall off at all.
