Bah. You kids don’t know nothing about suck. Ya got real suck at a drugstore at a suckfountain. The suckjerk would ask you what kind of suck you wanted and mix it right there in front of you. My friends all got cherrysucks or lemonsucks, but I always used to order a doublesuck. It was like a regular suck only with twice as much suck in it. ---

They have those at the 7-11 right? The Big Suck? Say, isn’t that what’s gonna happen at the end of the Universe? You know, the Universe was created in the Big Blow, and it’s going to all collapse together in the Big Suck. Where am I going and why am I in this handbasket? ---

But if you tell that to kids today, they won’t believe you. You got your suck from a mill owner? Bah, we had to grind out suck ourselves with a metate and then cook it in a beehive oven fired by mastadon chips. You ever tried to cut pieces of charred suck with a flint chip? But we never complained, no sir, we sucked it right up. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/i-eat-crow-it-tastes-like-suck/313674.md?page=4)
