   • 1997, Warren Lapine, Stephen Pagel, Absolute Magnitude:

     Then a tall dark man got up and came to the podium. He looked pretty normal to me, except that his clothes looked new and like they'd never seen hours of weeding between the rows. But even our own farmish collective would manage decent clothes for someone we sent out to speak. We work hard and we're poor, but we're not that poor.

     "Yep. I didn't know he'd only been here for four years. Does he ever talk about where he was before that?" "Not really, but some of his expressions are kind of...farmish."
