...at the United Nations, where we lay our scene. From ancient grudge break new resolution, where concrete wall makes Israeli hands unclean.

Come to us with a problem only if you want help solving it. That's what we do. Sympathy is what your girlfriends are for.
If you think you're fat, you probably are. Don't ask us.

ALL men see in only 16 colours, like Windows default settings. Peach, for example, is a fruit, not a colour. Pumpkin is also a fruit. We have no idea what mauve is.

When we have to go somewhere, absolutely anything you wear is fine. Really.
