"Take one chopstick and place it between the base of your thumb and your hand,
extending outward between your middle and ring fingers. Grasp the other
chopstick with the tips of your thumb and index finger. Now, holding the two
sticks parallel, raise them over your head and signal to the waiter that you
would like him to please bring you a fork." -- Dave Barry

"I must have been looking at that TV, unblinking, for over an hour
but I still couldn't believe it. They suspected the sons of bitches
had smuggled battle-level Pokemon past security, concealing them on
their bodies before sending them out and taking over the cockpit. But
it was the footage of Ground Zero that really ate at you. Firemen and
rescue worker Machokes digging through the rubble, uncovering moun-
tains of bodies. 'Joy' Nurses and Chanseys running among the wounded, 
who took up entire school cafeterias. I'll never forget the image of 
one little girl, sobbing uncontrollably, holding her baby Charmander 
to her chest and trying to reignite its tail with a fucking lighter."
