A prisoner of war is a man who tries to kill you and fails, and then asks you not to kill him.
I think I've started to have a lot more fun around snowboarding, even going out of the halfpipe and going to hit some jumps or getting some 'pow.' That definitely made it a lot more fun to me, just adding that much positivity into snowboarding.

Being a POW certainly doesn't qualify anyone to be president.

Not Heav'n itself upon the past has pow'r; But what has been, has been, and I have had my hour.
The pow'r that I have on you is to spare you; The malice towards you to forgive you.
