I've learned a few things in the few days I'm here, but my wife & kids are calling for an intervention

In China, this is a form of satire.

It means there are a thousand more, just like Worth.

I'm learning how to be sassy from Worth. Add me to the thousand.

But what definition of sassy do you mean?
Rude and disrespectful.
Energetic and exciting.
Or stylish.

The tomato, oh tomato how I love thee thy vines are so viney thy blooms so bloomy thy leafs so leafy if I were to be a magnificent plant such as you, I would get early blight...

Well, now, that depends.

The guy who threatened to beat up his girlfriend in my office because he didn't give her 'his permission' to have her eyes dilated received Option 1, along with a call to the cops to kick him out when he declined to leave after I told him to get out. I have a black belt in Taekwondo, and it is one of only 2 times in 10 years where I thought I might actually have to use it for real. I figure the guy _might_ get a punch in on either his girlfriend or me, but he was going DOWN after that. Fortunately, it didn't come to that, because as Master Nelson always says, "The best way to win a fight? Don't be there!"

Option 2 is most of the time, along with snappy retorts and witty conversations. Sometimes, I wish the witty comments would come a little faster and not 3 hours after I really needed them, but most of the time they're there on time.

Option 3: I am fashion-impaired. Style goes over my head. My idea of stylish is a. comfortable and b. geeky. Now, I did rebel when I had to use a walker after my knee replacements. I figured if I was forced to use the darn thing, then I may as well make it as flashy as possible. My kids and I decorated mine with stickers, a Fourth-of-July star garland, a horn, a pinwheel, a bag for holding stuff, and a Kamelot band banner taped to the top bar. And a Yoda Pez dispenser. It's very important to offer all nurses, therapists, and phlebotomists a Pez candy before they do anything to you. They're much less sadistic when they're in a good mood. I was the talk of the rehab floor that week.

Before I got here, I thought I knew "a little something" about tomatoes. After a short time, I realized I knew "next to nothing". After a few years, I'm back to "a little something".

The only thing I really excel in around here is acquiring even more tomato seeds!

Aim for the crotch. That was my trainer's favorite kick. His background is in Japanese jiu-jitsu. He was disappointed when UFC/mma came along and made crotch-kicking against the rules.

That or the knee. They can't run with a dislocated knee or torn ligaments. As hard as those MMA guys hit, I can see that rule being in place, otherwise they'd all be singing a higher soprano than me after a few matches.
