With 'Special Olympics’, Bhopal protests Dow role
Ankur Sirothia, TNN | Jul 27,

I don't think I understood half of what he said but I did find the parts that I did understand (with the help of your notes above) very entertaining. Reminded me of some crazed Monty Python rant. I will try to incorporate "harry big potatoes" into my own conversations, love it! Nobody will know what the hell I'm talking about here in the middle USA.
