howbout something simple
                           he needed to unwind unknot straighten his spine

something awfully simple
stand it on its two legs


I always have whiskey on handnever truer words

thats –E Y –E Y –E Y oh whiskey  Irish twelveyear Redbreast  --Y whisky  American

he had whiskey around to sip

had it as an antiseptic

kept it in lieu a styptic pen  to stop bleeding

simple
easy to follow


best joke of the day

skin in the game

no skin

couldnt give a fuck no matter who they were because
                                                         had no skin in the game

it was that simple knowledge that made him an outstanding intermediary  negotiator

made a good living

allround him Skins freaking out which was perfectly understandableperfectly human

he was the quiet handsomewrapped bundle of patience and sanity
