Pretty dumb stunt, right? But it’s an even bet this kid will never try that stupid human trick again. Not so with smoking, which is just one reason why I hate it, and why smoking is really, really, really stupid and dangerous: it’s potentially lethal, yet it’s done over and over again, thousands of times. I don’t like to admit …
I HATE {accidents} MONDAY

I HATE MONDAY
