'It's great that you want a career in football, Timothy, but don't you think being a striker would be more fun than being a goalpost.'

"Last question. Where do you see yourself thirty seconds from now?"

Move Up In The World or Down Hill All The Way.

'I told my teacher that I won't be returning to school. I'm trying out for a pro basketball team, and her services are no longer required.'
