He has his cake, and eats it too. When he watches the pot, it boils. No matter how many cooks there are already, when he is in the kitchen the broth will not spoil. ---

> [@Cryptic\_C62](#): > > If he punched you in the face, you would have to resist the strong urge to thank him. Might the original have been “slapped”? I thought this was a reference to Antonio Inoki, a pro wrestler and legit martial artist. He once slapped a wrestler in training, and the guy popped up and thanked Inoki profusely. Since then, fighters and fans have actively asked Inoki to slap thim for courage and luck. When Inoki slaps you, it is indeed an honor. Unfortunately, current MMA contender Lyoto Machida hadn’t heard about this. When Inoki slapped him after Machida’s debut, the young fighter was mighty confused. ---

How are these things attributable to an **interesting** man? Perhaps you guys are confusing him with [the most badass man in the world](http://www.chucknorris.com/)? ---

His tee time is “whenever he shows up.” The Queen acts on the advice of her Prime Minister … if he says so. He once had an audience with the Pope, but had to call it short, as he was needed elsewhere. The Pope rescheduled. ---
