Well...

You take the High road and I'll take the Low road, and I'll get to Scotland 
afore ya....

Of course we could ask B.B.King about "Caldonia"...

Enough!  I give myself up ... It's tired and I'm getting late....

BTW:  Tool use had been considered a human (or homind) only skill until 
recently.  Then we decided that Chimps and some other apes could make and 
use some tools.  Then we noticed that some birds (aka dinosaurs) could use 
and sometimes create tools as well.  The list keeps growing - just last week 
wild Capuchin monkeys were determined to be tool makers/users...

Just wait, someone will explain the reduction of tyrannosaurid forelimbs to 
increased use and dependance on tools!!
