You'd think that Killing people would make them like you, but it doesn't! it just makes people dead.

Not in Oklahoma. Smelling good came in the 7th grade, Spelling good came in the 8th!

Gee...I must have gone to a progressive school...I learned how to spell Cologne as part of my world geography class...and then I had to learn how to spell it as Köln later on.
That was in fifth grade. In sixth grade, I had a teacher who was also my scoutmaster, and I learned firearms safety from him :thumbsup:!!
And I'll bet Abe could recommend a dentist for Jack.
By the way, I feel like an idjit...I've read the Repairman Jack novels several times, now...and just figured out the literary reference for Isher Sports Shop :eyeroll: ...

Never having read A.E. van Vogt, I was unaware that there was one...until you mentioned there was and I looked it up.
Interesting.

Axioms Jack seems to live by (inadvertantly or not):
Why he does what he does: "I chose this life. I know what I'm doing. And on any given day, I could stop doing it. Today, however, isn't that day. And tomorrow won't be either." Bruce Wayne, Identity Crisis
On Rasalom: "Water's wet, the sky is blue...and good old Satan Claus, Jimmy...he's out there...and he's just gettin' stronger." Joe Hallenbeck, The Last Boyscout
