“I told you all not to let them mine here. Now, who’s laughing? Not me, because my house is tilting at a 45-degree angle.”
“I heard the boom and thought it was the end of the world. Turns out it was just the end of my rice field. Same difference.”
“Do I know what caused the sinkhole? That’s up for debate. Do I know who I will pin this on? No, but I’m sure I’ll find someone. I do know I just bought a vacation home. Potash business is good.”
