Mental discipline simply does not work in these situations.”

I sliced my finger open with a Swiss army blade once but it was so sharp and clean I didn’t feel a thing until minutes later.

I am unpersuaded that Mr Schmidt has studied these various likenesses scientifically. WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES THE RUSTINESS MAKE?
