Al Madrigal, L.A. resident, wasn't in mood to discuss California drought with Jon Stewart.
"I'm sick of it," - he says. "Back home it's all we talk about. We use to go to dinner and discuss movies. Which stars are secretly gays. But now it's just - "How long was your shower. Did you use a backet? Hey, that's a guy whose lawn is green. Call the cops! "
Man, it feels good! I am taking an advantage of your unregulated East Coast Water-topia! Man, it feels good!
Jon, I have to get it out of my system before I go home and slip the recycled toilet water.
I haven't wasted water like this in years!
I am going to paint this town wet, Jon!
