Like putting the new toilet paper on the roller?
I drive pizzas, at night. I won’t let my wife do that, nor does She want to.
Think about it!
I deliver pizzas at night too. It can be dangerous out there. Have your tips been going down, because mine have been stinking. I’ve noticed pizza consumption is a pretty good indicator of economic health. The way it looks to me is that we’re heading for a looong recession.
