I wish I had a cool nickname like 'Scorpion.'

Most of my nicknames have been things like 'Dickhead.'

Yeah if they gave most-wanted criminals lame names like “Gentle Breeze” and “Tiny Hands” they’d lose so much respect it would cripple any organization.

Just another day in America! Calais, France to Dover, England "only" 29 miles. So, yeah, that's long in a tiny rubber boat, but it's not like they're crossing it at the widest point, which is 150 miles.
