[Yo-Yo]

I remember an old MAD "You're a genius if...But you're an Idiot if.." that went:

YOU'RE A GENIUS IF you negotiate to eliminate all nuclear weapons (picture of an outdoor signing ceremony)

BUT YOU'RE AN IDIOT IF you really believe the other side really got rid of theirs (officials look up to see incoming ICBMs.)

I remember the very first thing I ever saw in MAD. I was about 7 years old and at the Dr Office:

World War III is coming
We hope that we survive
So that we can fight in
World War IV and V.

As a little kid that worried about being nuked by the commies, that gave me perspective that I have carried every since.
