Ya know what\'s sad? Someone actually must have ATTEMPTED this for them to have put a warning label on it. Anyone wanna take a guess at what that poor sap\'s BAC was when his buddies bet he wouldn\'t do it for 5 bucks?









Hmm.... the label never said anything about not attempting to stop the blade with my buttox though!
