Crumple zones, collapsing steering wheels, airbags...they make a really huge difference.
Wow, I can get a wireless mouse that can be a wired mouse. Seems simpler and cheaper to me to just get the wired mouse to start out with.
Racist? Why? Sexist, maybe...
Man, we've got a rapper who could make *five* of those!

He may or may not do what they want, but he *will* pay attention.
