Please don't analyze things, or think about it. Please tell me what on first sight looks like the longer line of these two. (not the outside arrows but the horizontal line in the middle)
Answer later on.

If I get a cookie I want chocolate chip. None of those stupid Chips Ahoy or whatever. Homemade. With nuts. Pecans not walnuts. And, I want it warm and not all hard and stupid. I like the chocolate to be melty. I hate that word, melty. I heard it on a commercial and now I can't get rid of it.
Oh, and about your little "not the arrows" disclaimer. Those aren't arrows. They're lines. So I win.
