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

It's a little sad when a skill becomes obsolete, and a person who's mastered said skill switches from "manly-man" to "hobbyist" or "geek."

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Change a flat, yes. Clean a bolt-action rifle? I don't think I need to know how to do that.
