It's SUCH a
major bummer dat Pinch Me wasn't acquainted wif "da first couple" earlier in their lives, or he might have been able to perform his "specialty" action on them --- and then if they'd persisted, maybe even "upped da ante" to Mr.
Spock's "nerve pinch" which would have harmlessly rendered them temporarily unconscious --- to shock them back to their senses when they were contemplating eating da apple, and thus saved future mankind from da agonies of
toil.
