P: "But...I don't even get the impression that meth is very much fun."
M: "Well, it is if you like to stay up for days at a time."
P: "I guess, but why would a smart girl do a drug like that?"
M: "Dude, out in the midwest, everyone's a tweaker. I asked her once, and she said, 'Well, there's nothing else to do out here.'"

Oh, and: 12/27 (44%), 6/23 (26%), 5/22 (23%), 5/27 (19%).
Which, I think, is a surprisingly accurate reflection of how things have changed, over the years.
But on the other hand, 3/27 (11%), 5/23 (22%), 5/22 (23%), 6/27 (22%). That's counting very liberally, though.
(Still, 5.1 is also 5/22, and 5.2 was 7/19, or 37%; 7.1 was, ahem, 2/15.)
It'd be pretty easy to get to 100% under the first of those criteria; feasible under the second, though a little contrived. Fulfilling both, I don't know, but maybe it'd be a fun challenge.
