All of the good town-folk died...As luck would have it, it was 'Picnic on the Train Tracks Day' in Ratopia." "Did anyone live?" "Yeah...Evil Ernie, the lawyer....He hates everyone, so he skipped the picnic...And, uh...the chickens...I decided that all the chickens lived." "What kind of God lets the good people die, but keeps the bad people alive?" "Heh heh heh heh Snicker...Snicker....SNOOOOORT....AHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHHAHAHA HOOOOHOOO." "HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HEEHEEHEEHEE EEE HOOHOOHOO HEE HEE HAW HAW...OH HO HO HO HO..." "...Now if you'll excuse me, my chickens have some subpoenas to serve."
