This is exactly why I want a prehensile tail.
No it's not. You want to be able to harass people with your hands full.
Jayne: What're you gonna tell the others? Mal: About what? Jayne: About why I'm dead. Mal: Hadn't thought about it. Jayne: Make something up. Don't tell 'em what I did.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I can totally see Hec doing this. Like, de'd stand in front of someone with both his hands in view, but then use his prehensile tail to reach around and tap them on the shoulder.
ION, today's Dinosaur Comics is especially funny: [link]

Oh my god, I am so hungry. I may have to snackinate.

Me too. I decided to forgo a mid-morning snack today. Big mistake....

I do like that comic today. I may have to run around assigning happiness points to everything, although I'm primarily in the honesty camp, except when I'm in the can't-be-bothered camp, or taking the odd jaunt to are-you-serious?-I'm-freaking-terrified!.

No it's not. You want to be able to harass people with your hands full.
And you're thinking how you'd incorporate it into Krav already.

Yeah, that'd be fun. Like, I might flick Jesse's ear on the subway platform or sneak something out of tommyrot's Apple store bag and make him think he'd lost it already.

Punishingly Intricate
ION, today's Dinosaur Comics is especially funny:
We just got a bunch of Dinosaur Comics greeting cards into my friends' store where I work on the weekend. Hilarious!!! I've been making everybody pick them up and read them out loud. (I'm not sure they are available online but you might could email them and ask about them if you're interested: Atomic Books)
you know what's hard? Copyediting a book written by an "anarchist"...they have no respect for the rules of punctuation or grammar or really any rules at all! (I volunteered to do this so I really shouldn't complain too much.)

I never loose my Apple stuff! I'd immediately suspect thievery, of the possibly-prehensile-tail-committed variety.

I am eating a tangerine. It won't hold me for long.

OK, this made me laugh. And then laugh some more. And maybe a little bit more.
Tailor-made torture for editors!
