You just put your hand on me.
DYDrew Yost

[leans in close] You ever smell a dead mouse? Remember that smell?
YYost
Yes.
Well, I just now put a dead mouse in your jacket pocket, and no matter how many times you clean that jacket you will always smell that dead mouse, and you will remember that you should never have put your hand on me.
YYost
