Study: 82 Percent Of Americans Want To Run Over Nathan Lane With A Tractor

PRINCETON, NJ—According to a Gallup poll released Monday, 82 percent of Americans describe themselves as “wanting very much” to run over Broadway and film star Nathan Lane with a tractor, with 60 percent of respondents preferring that a trailer loaded with pig iron be attached to the rear of the vehicle. “These figures reflect a 12 percent rise from last year,” Gallup official Tom Ross said. “That’s remarkable when one considers that Mr. Lane’s cancelled NBC sitcom Encore! Encore! was on the air at that time.” Of the dissenting 18 percent of respondents, 11 percent wanted to bind Lane’s ankles with a cable attached to the Space Shuttle, and 7 percent wished to strap him to a stone slab and force him to watch The Birdcage for 800 hours on continuous loop.
