Everything&#8217;s different in Montana. Those people just don&#8217;t think the way you and I do. If a Montanan wants to protest a parking ticket, he builds a bunker in a remote hillside, holes up there with a year&#8217;s supply of crackers and water, and waits for someone to track him down. This sort of rugged individualism guarantees that in Montana the speed of light is a matter of personal choice. Sometimes it&#8217;s slower than the speed of sound, sometimes it zips around like a teflon-tipped bullet. I&#8217;ve never actually been to Montana, but I hear that&#8217;s what it&#8217;s like.
