Have you ever wondered what makes Californians so calm?  Besides drugs, I
mean.  The answer is hot tubs.  A hot tub is a redwood container filled with
water that you sit in naked with members of the opposite sex, none of whom
is necessarily your spouse.  After a few hours in their hot tubs,
Californians don't give a damn about earthquakes or mass murderers.  They
don't give a damn about anything , which is why they are able to produce
"Laverne and Shirley" week after week.
