        That's 2150.42 cubic inches of brains . .!! . . . That's a lot of brains . . . by the way a bushel is a dry unit of measure so I guess he's talking about dead, dried out, brains . . .

        With a head that large you would need more than a handful of patience in just getting about in your daily life.
