People who live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones. Unless you’re trying to murder two birds or a cat with them.

Let’s address the elephant in the room. I would suggest doing so slowly and respectfully. Meanwhile, would someone please call Security?

At the 11th hour. What’s the rush? There’s still 59 minutes left.
