i truthfully have faith there is basically one fruitcake interior the international, and human beings in basic terms keep re-wrapping it and sending it to somebody else :) that is a non-violent weapon, while used to tell somebody how unimportant they're on the trip journeys: They forgot to purchase you something for the trip journeys and you have been on the backside of the record, (under coal) so, they did no longer elect to look forgetful or egocentric, so as a final concept, they tied a clean bow around the fruitcake and spruced up the saran wrap. It basically turns right into a violent weapon once you chuck it at them as a thank you :)
