" ... and it seemed to Sonny and Jube, Jube more than Sonny, to their way of thinking, that straights - Monday to Friday and you can bet plenty of Saturdays and Sundays thrown in - that straight people were mugs. Ya know? That all them years of working, saving, disciplining 'emselves, holding 'emselves back, being careful, just to make their dream of owning their own house come true was stupid. Ya know? Or filling that house dream with furniture, tv, stereo, video, fancy arty-farty objects (and there's always cash laying around - oh, and don't forget the jewellery). That it was all a waste of time when types like themselves - that's us, eh Sonny? HAHAHA!! - could just come along and - and - Oh it's just so funny, ain't it, Sonny? And steal the stuff - HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!"--Back cover.
