Think about something.

Oh, it's important that one of the things you think about is not taxes.

You have a perfectly good couch that is collecting butt dust and is clearly not currently being decorated with a "No Girlz Allowed" sign. Get on that!

"Discovering My Vices."or "Detecting Missile Vectors."
or "Dodging Mississippi Vikings."
Then say nothing else, walk away, go to the back of the line, and repeat the process.
