Work is way overrated. But if you don't do it, how will you pay for gas.

I almost got run over by a forklift once, guy at work was being a smart ***. It wasn't too long after that he got stabbed in the back with one of the forks. ER said if the tine had been ½" to the right, he might have been paralyzed.
