    Homer Jay Simpson (Doh!)
    Basil Fawlty (German? Oh i'm sorry, i thought there was something wrong with you.)
    Manuel (I know nothing!)
    Bender Bending Rodriguez (from America's heartland, Mexico)
    Stig (who knows 2 facts about ducks, and both of them are wrong)
    A new mobile phone tower went up in a town in the USA, and the local newspaper asked a number of people what they thought of it. Some said they noticed their cellphone reception was better. Some said they noticed the tower was affecting their health.

    A local administrator was asked to comment. He nodded sagely, and said simply: "Wow. And think about how much more pronounced these effects will be once the tower is actually operational."
