I haven’t had anything beyond a hug from my mother in 10 years.

A boss of mine some time ago would sneak up and pat me on the back, scaring me most of the time. Back then I hated it.

These days something like that would make my whole week.

You can make any dumb American do anything you want if you lead with a threat.

The very instant they are threatened, any tiny amount of critical thought they ever had instantly goes out the proverbial window.

With windows “365” on the way, celebration now would be pretty damn ironic.
