I would spike my keyboard everytime I finished fixing my style and fx cop issue.

Would my union give me a bazillion dollars worth of legal representation if I got caught diddling the secretary?

If I had a 35% success rate (like a .350 batting average), I would eventually be paid like a CEO... oh wait... that already happens... nvm.
