My friends describe me as a man of few verbal words. Funnily, the words are chosen poorly for someone who thinks so much about what a person should and shouldn't say. Last year, a classmate told me she would get at least three words out of me before our study group quit for the night. I responded,”You lose”.

I'm not shy, I'm purposefully mute.

I saw the moment, and I pulled a Calvin Coolidge. I don't know if I'll have another chance in my lifetime.
