A Laugh

A friend of mine bought a wooden sign today and the quote on it made me laugh... so, I thought I'd share.

I understand that scissors can beat paper.  And I get how rock can beat scissors, but there's no way paper can beat rock.  Paper is supposed to magically wrap around rock leaving it immobile?  Why can't paper do this to scissors?  Screw scissors, why can't paper do this to people?  Why aren't sheets of college ruled notebook paper constantly suffocating students as they attempt to take notes in class?  I'll tell you why.  Because paper can't beat anybody.  A rock would tear it up in two seconds.  When I play rock, paper, scissors, I always choose rock.  Then when somebody claims to have beaten me with their paper I can punch them in the face with my already clenched fist and say, oh sorry.  I thought paper would protect you.

I'm not sure if the fact that I found this so amusing means I have a really great sense of humor or a really twisted one...

What if the paper had something mean written on it about the rock? It could totally hurt the rocks feelings.
