Quote of the day--noir edition

"Leech bait. It's in Thailand or wherever the fuck. When they get a hooker that's too used up to sell to the whorehouse they tie the bitch up and dunk her in a big old vat of leech infested water. Just when she's about to nod off, they pull her out and peel the leeches off. Then they sell 'em in the market to all them poor motherfuckers they got starving over there. That's why I'm glad to be an American."

—Bogie, the quasi-homeless, dog-abusing, criminal heroin addict and Ronald Reagan supporter in Pike, Benjamin Whitmer.
