Python - insult generator

# negative reinforcement through insults

#
#
# Sometimes negative reinforcement is the way to go.
# For the times when you need a kick in the pants
# rather than a pat on the back I whipped up this

# insult generator.
# It will churn out more insults then you can shake
# a stick at.

import random
