You are not allowed to join the army, little buddy. You don't want me getting hurt in war? I just don't think someone who's never won an arm-wrestling match in his life has any business taking on terrorists.

Texting. Hardware. Software. Plans. Most of our business comes from word-of-thumb.

"What about your precious opposable thumbs now?"

'Those showy blooms are very susceptible to pests.'
