Surprised he hasn't taken his own life yet



Unicorns ARE real - They are just fat, grey and called Rhinos

I bet he regrets this everyday,even if he does'nt admit it. lol



The ironic part is that he bailed because the risk spooked him. He wasn't willing to take a gamble.

Now he plays the slots every day.

Ah well. Too bad for him, but I'm sure he's got enough money to live the life he wants.
