Yeow.

That's........

It's like this DUmmy, let's say you are on a boat and you are wearing a life jacket, does the life jacket take away any concern about falling in the water?

I have a garden gnome in my backyard and there are no hippos in my backyard. Therefore as long as I have the garden gnome I will never have hippos in my backyard. :thatsright:

How to drive a DUchebag more crazy?

Put it in a round room and tell it there is a freshly reloaded EBT card in the corner.

The EBT card does not work and is fake.
