Duh..., Homer Simpson

Homer: My name's Homer Simpson, I'd like to sign up for something.
Mrs. Blumenstein: Well, we have an opening on the debate team.
Homer: Debate, like, arguing?
Mrs. Blumenstein: Yes.
Homer: I'll take THAT, you DINGPOT! Just warming up, Mrs. Blumenstein.
Mrs. Blumenstein: This year's topic is "Resolved: The national speed limit should be lowered to 55 miles per hour."
Homer: 55? That's ridiculous! Sure, it'll save a few lives, but millions will be late!
