Just walk up and grab, see what happens. When one's nads finally descend back out of one's body, one will be educated on propriety.

When Churchill was visited by a minister during the war he happened to be on the toilet.
He told his aid to send the minister away saying "he can only deal with one shit at a time"

Thomas Edison had this quote framed and on display in his workshop:
“There is no expedient to which men will not resort in order to avoid the necessary labor of thinking.” (Sir Joshua Reynolds)
"The world is my country; all of humanity are my brethren; and to do good deeds is my religion." (Thomas Paine)
