Utilitarian Flames

Jack: You can't wield the flame of Anor.

Me: But I do make a mean cup of coffee.

Jack: The flame of Anor is cooler.

Me: Think about your whole life. How many times have you needed a cup of coffee?

Jack: Every day.

Me: Any how many situations have you been in that needed the flame of Anor?

*thoughtful pause*

Jack: Not that many.

Me: Name one time you needed the flame of Anor.

Jack: The other week at the grocery store.

Me: ... That's not invalid. It was the day before Christmas. I can't say the flame of Anor wouldn't have helped in the checkout line.

Jack: You shall not pass!
