What he’s trying to say is, learn to use them like ninja stars - shuriken. They’re sharp and deadly if scaled properly.

When I worked at Barnes&Noble as a teen (~2007-2008), my coworker and I would just whip gift cards around at each other. Was a good three months.

Maybe like nunchucks. Use them wrong and they'll whack you in the nuts.
