Why do you assume that just because you're a compulsive liar, everyone else is as well?

Oh it's OK, you don't have to be too vigilant. Just get as close to them as you like, and if the tractor does an emergency stop or hits something big, you'll just bounce off, rather than being impaled horribly, with one spike through your head and the other through your heart. Which would be terrible, just terrible. (Although a blow to the head which unfortunately didn't kill you may well make you a nicer person...it can hardly make you any more of a hateful, hated fuckwit.)
