Quote of the Day, Big Chief Show Emotion Edition
“In some cultures, there need to be ritual displays of over the top emotion for some events- profuse groveling including getting down on your hands and knees when making an apology, wailing and beating of the chest and throwing yourself on the coffin at a funeral, and so on.

That ought to show he cares.”
