Instead of talking to your plants, if you yelled at them would they still grow, but only to be troubled and insecure?

OK, I just gotta post an entire limerick:

There once was a man named Gus
Who flashed himself on the bus
When hauled into court

"Curat non lex esto de minimus"

(Translation: the law will not concern itself with small or insignificant items)
