Trimming a string

[Double Dumbass on You]

Do you feel better about yourself for having posted a smug, shithead-type
answer, troll??

As a matter of fact, I was in a near fatal car wreck about 7 years ago.
Suffered some brain damage.  Now, I can't remember minute details such as
that which I asked.  I have read the python documentation numerous times.
Sometimes, I just need a simple answer to a simple question, you simple
cocksucker.

GO FUCK YOURSELF, it will be time well spent for you.
