Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Our wings are not tired.
Glances up at Accounting Degree hanging on office wall. Reminds self that said degree never was used. Resumes personality having behavior.

This is just one of the many tragic cases of chartered accountancy. Please give generously so that a cure can be found.

Glances up at wall
Notices that is not such a dork as to hang diploma on wall
Makes a mental note to hang something on the wall, maybe next year
