You took off the man's hand!  Have you no decency?  

How did you fill in the grain on the bench, when you removed the paper 
behind the suitcase?

(On our computer at home I have a picture of our guinea pig as a desktop
image.  Since my son objected to the magnified piece of guinea pig poop
that the picture contained, I spent 20 minutes last night turning the poop 
into a wood chip.  Somehow I think your editing time was spent more
productively.)
