A couple of "shorters"* on tomkow:
"Because Singer is a sonofabitch I can be one too!"
"Since I can not be everywhere where I might be able to help someone I get to help no one!"
* - See any "shorter" post at SadlyNo!; ‘Shorter’ concept created by Daniel Davies and perfected by Elton Beard. We are aware of all Internet traditions.™

Or even: "Just look at that picture! Why then help anyone?"
Perhaps my favorite!
