"Dialogue Between My Fist and My Finger  by J. A. Emanuel ""I' m more powerful than you."" ""You are, but you could not say it,  not think it, without me."" ""What's that?"" ""I said, you are nothing without me."" ""But you're just a finger; I'm a fist!"" ""True, but you are bent over like an old man,  and I am straight as a new soldier."" ""Your similes piss me off!"" ""Your preface to your heavy book could have been omitted."" ""You're an impertinent little bastard.""  ""That is because I am so relevant."" ""I could get along without you, you know."" ""Yes, but you would not look so handsome  or feel so clever."" ""Then you admit I 'm handsome? I'm clever?"" ""Only when you have me along to complement you."" ""Surely you don't think I'm ugly or stupid?"" ""All of you fists are rather ugly, and you are poorly endowed with intelligence."" ""Just the same, we run every country and win every war."" ""I am sorry to have joined you in either achievement."" ""You sound like a 96—pound weakling. Where's your patriotism?"" ""If 1 point to it, will you carry it?"" ""Are you trying to get cute with me?"" I'll knock your block off!"" ""You will have to maim yourself some other day: our body is waking up from his nap."" ""I hope he wants us to knock somebody's block off!"" ""If I were you....""   ""But you ain't me. You're just a finger. So shut up!"" "
