Why armpits are a useful tool for suffocation ...

Source
It's one of those days where I have no idea what to write. I'm sitting here, with my fingers lightly touching the home keys, staring at the screen and my very orange signature I'm still not sure I like. I can feel the energy zing below my fingertips, they're screaming, "Make me play hopscotch! Make me jump!"

I scream back, "Shut up! I'm thinking!"

Silence. Stillness. Zing ...

My fingertips groan and break out in a sweat anticipating their possible next move, "You are pathetic. You just scored a job that's making you giddy, and you're not going to let us type up your hype?"

My middle finger twitches ...

"Hey! How rude!" I lift my hands, which are now as heavy as concrete due to my fingers insisting they remain firmly on the keys, but I manage to yank them away and suffocate them in my armpits.

"Look. I'm sorry. But it's confidential ... I'll resuscitate you tomorrow."

    Poor little guys, now your keyboard is either going to smell like deodorant or arm-pit funk. :)

    Drat. Come on. You can't keep us in suspense like this. And wash your hands before you start typing again. :)

    I hate when my fingers are inpatient with me. Insolent bastards.

    By the way what I meant to type there was "impatient," but I blame that on my fingers.
