You think its stupid now, wait until you learn what a bucket of sea cucumbers costs.

Its like wearing a condom to protect against head lice, Oliver said.
You could do that, but thats not really how you keep the thing youre worried about from happening.
Oliver then announced a counter-proposal.
I know what youre thinking: John, this is a stupid idea, but is it?

Yes, obviously it is.
But is it significantly stupider than Donald Trumps wall?
