    The only one I’ve ever pulled off on the spur of a moment unintentionally is when my asshole stepdad broke his foot and I ended up casually quipping to him, “you gotta work hard in order to get a leg up in the world”.

      I also just remembered that I later told him he’s got to put his foot down on some issue his job was complaining about.
