Pssst! (what to do when the world is up in your grill)
keep
throwing
punches
until
your
arms
are
so
tired
that
they
feel
like
they
are
about
to
fall
off---
then
start
kicking
(don’t have to be jean-claude---****, get some steel toed boots if it’ll help)---
and
when
your
legs
are
sore
head butt them
and
when your neck is sore
knee
them
in the crotch
etc.
etc.
etc.
(seeing a pattern?)
NEVER EVER CEASE THE SLUGFEST.
