Show me a sign today that you paid attention to any one of these things that I created, and bring them in a way I won't expect so I am as surprised at my ability to be able experience these things and make it so that I have no doubt that it's come from you.

"We have been known from the very start. Our eye color, our hairline, our jawline, the shape of our big toe, the tone of our voice. These things have been designed from the very beginning.

What kind of music we listen to. The sort of skirt that looks good. The sort of cap that fits right. We have been made to find these things for ourselves and take them in as ours, like adopted children: habits, hobbies, idiosyncrasies, gestures, moods, tastes, tendencies, worries. We are all these things. They have been put in us for good measure.

Perhaps we don’t like what we see: our shapeless hair, our loss of hair, our shoe size, our dimples, our knuckles too big, our eating habits, our disposition. We have disclosed these things in secret, likes and dislikes, behind doors with locks, our lonely rooms, our messy desks, our empty hearts, our sudden bursts of energy...

An original: There's a very old run-down house that needs renovating, and the construction worker asks his boss how well he wants the ceiling and walls knocked down.

"ASBESTOS you can!"

What do you call a mushroom who walks into a bar and buys everyone a drink? A FUNGI.

What do you call a DJ who is skilled on decks. Deckstrous

After aversion therapy, Alex behaves like a good member of society, but not by choice. His goodness is involuntary; he has become the titular clockwork orange — organic on the outside, mechanical on the inside
