&quot;&#039;If fighting is sure to result in victory, then you must fight.&#039; Sun Tzu said that. And I&#039;d say he knows a little bit more about fighting than you do, pal, because he invented it. Then he perfected it so that no living man could best him in the ring of honour. Then he used his fight money to buy two of every animal on earth. And then he herded them onto a boat. And then he beat the crap out of every single one. And from that day forward any time a bunch of animals are together in one place it&#039;s called a zoo!<br /> <br /> <br /> . . . unless it&#039;s a farm!&quot; ~ Soldier (TF2)

A roll of the dice
A spin of the top
I'm playing Red Light, Green Light
And don't know when to stop
Should I say this
Or should I say that
When any words I speak will
Catch me up in a trap

'Tis just the way it goes when playing Women's Emotions
A game of total chance with no explicit equation
Colorblind and clipping wires to prevent an explosion
They say they want the truth, but when you give—an eruption

I may get some wrong
I may get some right
But I am playing Bingo
Will they make a neat line
Even if I win
It won't be the end
Like a child new to board games
She'll want to play again

'Tis just the way it goes when playing Women's Emotions
A game of total chance with no explicit equation
Colorblind and clipping wires to prevent an explosion
They say they want the truth, but when you give—an eruption
