Explanation:

George is one of the characters in the short story "Harrison Bergeron", by Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. George lives in the year 2081. The government that rules the United States now has a strange way of making everyone equal: by handicapping those who have advantages. And, by advantages, they can mean anything - beauty, strength, intelligence.

George is an intelligent man, so he wears a handicap that transmits deafening sounds to his ear to keep him from thinking. He is most likely strong and athletic as well, since he is forced to wear a handicap bag weighing forty-seven pounds. When his wife suggests making a whole on the bag to make it lighter, George quickly refuses. He is forced by the law and the government to carry the bag around, and he knows he will get in trouble if he disobeys.

"You been so tired lately-kind of wore out," said Hazel. "If there was just some way we could make a little hole in the bottom of the bag, and just take out a few of them lead balls. Just a few."

"Two years in prison and two thousand dollars fine for every ball I took out," said George. "I don't call that a bargain."
