Rubberband Man



347

Judging by the spills on this guy’s shirt he obviously can’t handle something important like a cell phone in his hands. You would figure someone would have invented some sort of hands free talking device by now, but I guess it’s only 2009 so we can’t expect that type of technology yet.

    That has got to be the most ignorant thing you have ever said. Maybe you should lay off the sauce. it’s effecting your brain. My husband has 18 tattoos and he would NEVER do something that stupid. Tattoos do not make you stupid. It really makes me angry when someone can’t see past a person’s tattoos to the human being underneath. Do you know lots of white collar professionals have tatts? Oh yeah, doctors, judges, etc. You really should think before you say thing. You may be offending someone. If you do not care if you offend someone, you should!
