“When angry, count four; when very angry, swear.”Mark Twain · Quote T-Shirt

Every family has one. The person who can make one curse word work as a noun, a verb and an adjective, all in a single sentence. Basically Roy Kent.

Twain opened the same chapter with a second saying: “All say, ‘How hard it is that we have to die’—a strange complaint to come from the mouths of people who have had to live.”

The four tally marks are the count. Anything past them is up to you.

Wear it to the reunion. Someone there will read it out loud.
