Someone unleashed a can of Whoop A$$ at work today.

Everything has an odd touch to it.

Had some guy wanting me to tell him why smoking weed made him freak out.

I asked him....If it makes you freak out, why do you keep doing it.

Some other guy with questions about shaving his chest and then there was the kid and the dead raccoon.
