So you aren’t infuriated by automated phone systems? Because let me tell you, the number of companies whose reputation has survived me having to deal with their fucking phone robot can be counted on my middle finger.

Probably an extremely large number of companies can be counted on something as ginormous as the average human middle finger; I could probably fit 20 if I write really tiny and could fit a lot more with access to other devices.

Someday, cosmetic geneticists will offer to sell you extra middle fingers.

It takes more muscles to frown than to smile, but it takes more parts to make a thumbs up than to flip someone off.

It was a very Higgins moment. “Did you like that? I just made it up!”
