Remember the commercial where, I believe, it was Robert Conrad, and he had a battery or something on his shoulder and dared for someone to knock it off?

Well, I have one, and go ahead, knock it off, I dare you!

Do you have a chip on your shoulder, and if so, what is it?

The chip on my shoulder is that i am never happy or satisfied (just like Mick Jagger)

I think it was a Duracell commercial with Lee Majors, but I am not positive.

Sure, I'll do my best to knock the chip off your shoulder.
What's your beef?

Kunfuseshus once said, as he was near the end of his life, "i just could never have imagined that so many dummies would go to the trouble to climb to the top of the mountain to just ask me a question that I had to make up an answer for. Geez
 
I have a huge cement block on my shoulders which strengthens the spinal erectors.
