How to Win Arguments and Influence People

Uncle Burt

Uncle Burt Good ol' Uncle Burt. When he's not being avuncular, he's being a royal pain in the butt. Burt's a good guy, there's just nothing he likes more than a sparring match. So you can rest assured he'll take a swing or two at your environmental sensibilities. Stay quick on your feet, though, and you can easily meet his every jab with a counterpunch or combination of your own. Who knows, by the time you head back to your corners, you may have set him straight on a thing or two.
