The video showing the paint I pirated. Art & Qualm II

A kid says to a pirate, "Hey, Mister Pirate, why do you have a wooden leg?"
The pirate says, "OH, I was made to walk the plank, and a shark got me leg before I could get to land."
"Wow!" the kid says. "Hey, how did you get that hook for a hand?"
"Well," says the pirate, "We were boarding a Limey ship, and one of the sailors took my hand with his sword. Before he lost his life to my cutlass."
"Wow. Mr. Pirate, why do you have a patch on your eye?"
"Oh. That." says the pirate. "That was the first day with my new hook."

Concerning the Box Breathing, I had it backwards: I thought a constricted heart pumped less vigorously, causing the brain to speed it up. Actually, blood flows through EASIER, causing the brain to slow it down. I told you not to listen to me.
Breathe in for 8, hold for 8, breathe out for 4, hold for 4 for energy.
Breathe in for 4, hold 4, out 8, hold 8 for relaxation.
Andrew Huberman explains at the end of this video- about the last minute. 
Here, he explains it in terms of alertness and calm.
Not a box, really- a parallelogram. There is box breathing, but that's just 4,4,4,4.
