Especially the third one - I'd totally fucking kill myself to try that.

1. You know, there are some very easy jokes that could be made about your headline
Being a man of integrity and decency, however, I shall refrain from making them.

2. There are, and I spent some time thinking of ways to reword it,
but nothing worked, so I just went with the plain and simple.

3. So, borrow from existing comedian quotes
like Izzard :D

And cats leap up walls! Six foot walls, they just go… "Fwang" (mimes cat jumping) Lands perfectly, and turn… turn… and back flip and forward flip, and dismount! They always land perfectly, they never do that sort of wobbly-gymnast … (mimes wobbling) You never see cats on a wall having a problem, do you? You never see a cat going, (mimes tentative walk) “Fucking ‘ell..! I’m not sure about this…” and a cat on the ground, going, “Easy, Ginger! I'll walk you down!”

4. I always think of the hard life those gymnasts have every time I see gymnastics. I know
they are athletes and love it. It just exhausts me to think how hard they have to work as young girls. And at a much younger age than other athletes.
