edit: and also "Don't leave in a huff! Leave in a minute and a huff."

TPBM never shot an elephant in his pajamas.

 

[Hyperion]

True!

(Brings to mind this... John Sedgwick (September 13, 1813 – May 9, 1864) a Union Army general in the American Civil War. He was the highest ranking Union casualty in the Civil War, killed by a sharpshooter at the Battle of Spotsylvania Court House, and is well-remembered for his ironic last words: "They couldn't hit an elephant at this distance."
