2. I want to throat-punch my co-worker

   Golfer87 replied to Annie Wilkes RN's topic in Relations

   If this is going to be a Dalton punch, are you going to post it on Youtube, since you'll be going to jail anyway? A bilateral palpation of the Carotid artery would be less messy, and you could still post it on Youtube. A pint of Cherry Garcia and a f...
