This is actually fairly involved. It takes effort.

Of course I make it look easy, but I’m not exactly a novice.

When I first started, it wasn’t like this. It was messy in every sense of the word, and its results were annoyingly unpredictable.

Now, though, with more practice behind me than even my brother could guess, it is clean. Nearly surgical. And its effects are precise.

Now, it comes easily.

I have the steps down: one, two, three, four, five.

Five steps to oblivion.

John’s alternative only takes two.

Still, this is easier than a phone call by far.
