I was right!

 

club = 1 hand to facilitate ass whooping
bat = 2 hands to facilitate an even worse ass whooping

 

When it is a Club = 50 Cent is playing
When it is a Bat = Its attacking your hair, Robin might also be around.

 

This picture cracks me up everytime I see it. I vote we add it to the smiley pop-up so we can just insert it randomly.

 

A club is just a bat's grandfather. Give a club some lovin' and a good polish and you'll have yourself a bat in no time.
