You can't have everything... where would you put it? I plan on living forever. So far, so good. Ability is what will get you to the top if the boss has no daughter.

That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile way and you have their shoes. I used to eat a lot of natural foods until I learned that most people die of natural causes.
