* while switching out failed/misdiagnosed hardware... hey, break-fix contract work helps pay the bills
My gramma is a bitch! I wouldn't want her on a death panel - she'd be voting to kill everyone she saw!
If we are talking about real, water-based showers for cleaning people, I think that there are more than a few Internet denizens who would die of fright at the prospect.
That was a pretty sick burn on the judge's part.
What good is a ticket to the good life, if you can't find the entrance?
