     I can guarantee you that Larkin is the only asshole in the group that   
   cannot comply.   
      
    For one thing, that is NOT what JF is doing.   
      
     Larking would like to think that he could win a pissing contest, but he   
   falls short of the requisite needs of being a man, and having a dick.   
      
    The closest he comes to having a dick is the fact that he is typically a   
   dickhead.
