I see an untapped market: Instahealth Potion!
March 25th, 2008 · 1 Comment
I’m sick.
Man sick, even. The kind where the tone of my voice never changes from a whine and when I got out of bed this morning and nobody was around to console my mansickness, I had no choice but to spend a half hour describing my symptoms to my cats.
