I have a bolt-action .22. It needs cleaning. It's needed cleaning for about 15 years. Wouldn't it be more manly to clean an M-16?
Okay, um, I'm lost. Uh, I'm angry, and I'm armed, so if you two have something that you need to work out --

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

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

Totally. Or, you know, disassemble and reassemble one blindfolded in 40 seconds, or whatever army-guys do....

Because books.
Or their teeth. It's the Jack Bauer school of manliness!

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Or, of course, a round house kick to the head.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I just fell again. This is very tedious. At least it was a quasi-directed fall, so I only hit my neck and not my head (I fell in the foot between my shower's glass door and the counter of my sink, so odds were not on my side).
I think that's a sign I should go into the office before any other mishaps hap.
