    WOW! A heart stopper for sure!

    I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.

    If it is going on ebay anyway, cut that S off and weld a D on. It will feel right at home with all the other fakes.image
