He’s a natural born lead-er.

If anyone gets in his way, he’ll rub them out!

2B or to HB, that is the question.

He tries harder.

Not to put too fine a point on it….he seems to be of a rather peculiar bent.I fear to approach the subject, however, lest I be met with some sharpness.

Why is he reading the Dung Beetle’s Guide?

I’ll pencil you in for 2:00

I’m always looking out for no. 2. That’s part of the reason I wear a hat.

As you walk through life, it is important to look out for number one. Just make sure you don’t step in number two.

Rule #1- Stay sharp. Rule #2- Always use a pocket protector.
