Thus making my point quite eloquently . I only met her the once and I have a healthy respect for her.

I may have the Voice, but she has a razor-sharp edge created by mutant vocal cords. It can slice eardrums.

I'm imagining some Kipling-esque story of "How Shecky Got Long Arms."

Clearly, you were never in a production of The Elephant's Child in your youth. :D

I played the Monkey.  I ROCKED the part.  I still remember my opening line.  I was five.

Kind of a wreck? took you 10 minutes to get through bubble Wrap. Jim Heckled you. You full on wrecked and made it look amazing! I continue to be amazed by you! I wanna bottle whatever you got so I can get something done for once I swear.
