2. RIP....
Guess there aren't a lot of Swift fans here. I do love his work though.

4. I don't think it would matter really
My threads always sink. I should avoid boat building as a possible career choice.

5. You could probably feed the poor to rich adults.
Just open a chain of haute cuisine restaurants featuring a menu centred on "long pork". All you need to do is find an investor and submit a modest proposal, if you will.
