ambition is only to see which gets to scoop the last spoonful of scum off
of the bottom of the barrel in which which they live. The best thing to do
with dirtbags such as Fritz, Robbins, Smithers, Hertvik, Herring, et
cetera, is to just poke a lance into them once in a while to relieve the
pressure of the pus that builds up in their system, and otherwise ignore
them.
