I understand that scissors can beat paper,
and I get how rock can beat scissors,
but there's no frickin way paper can beat rock.
Paper is supposed to magically "wrap around" rock, leaving it immobile?
Why the heck can't paper do this to scissors?
Screw scissors, why can't paper do this to people?
Why aren't sheets of college ruled notebook paper constantly
suffocating students as they attempt to take notes in class?
I'll tell you why, because paper can't beat anybody.
A rock would tear that motha up in about 2 seconds.
When I play rock/paper/scissors, I always choose rock.
Then when somebody claims to have beaten me with their paper
I can punch them in the face with my already clenched fist and say, "Oh crap, I'm sorry, I thought paper would protect you."
“A strong body makes the mind strong. As to the species of exercises, I advise the gun. While this gives moderate exercise to the body, it gives boldness, enterprise and independence to the mind. Games played with the ball, and others of that nature, are too violent for the body and stamp no character on the mind. Let your gun therefore be the constant companion of your walk.” – Thomas Jefferson

This one was from Winston Churchill and I will have to paraphrase the best I can. At a high class function in England and I think that it was in the 1920's or there about, this rather plain lady overheard him criticizing her looks, so she asked him to repeat the unflattering comment, which he did. Her immediate reaction was "Sir, you are drunk." His immediate reply was " Yes but in the morning, I will be sober and you will still be ugly".
