Abused by most people, the law allows for someone to kill in cold blood and simply plead self-defense.

Roast me! Boil me! Grill and flash-fry me! No need to tenderize my meat. Because it has already been tenderized by me. When I pinch my arm the rest gets jealous, so usually I promise myself some grievous bodily harm. You have got to treat yourself sometimes, I 'm warned.
