I like "rock, paper, scissors two-thirds." you know. "rock breaks scissors." "these scissors are bent. they're destroyed. i can't cut stuff. so i lose." "scissors cuts paper." "these are strips. this is not even paper. it's gonna take me forever to put this back together." "paper covers rock." "rock is fine. no structural damage to rock. rock can break through paper at any point. just say the word. paper sucks." there should be "rock, dynamite with a cutable wick, scissors."

But anatole said suddenly, 'don't expect god's protection in places beyond god's dominion. it will only make you feel punished. i'm warning you. when things go bad, you will blame yourself.' 'what are you telling me?' 'i am telling you what i'm telling you. don't try to make life a mathematics problem with yourself in the center and everything coming out equal. when you are good, bad things can still happen. and if you are bad, you can still be lucky.
