sometimes a baseball bat is *necessary*.

Or: If they don't 'get' it the first 9,234,975 million times you tell them?

Hit them harder. With a cluestick, or, if necessary? with a fucking 2x4.

Upside the head, for preference.

And when they're lying there? Prone? and you *finally* have their fucking, full, undivided attention?

Give it to them RIGHT BETWEEN THE FUCKING EYES.

They have a harder time forgetting that way.
