COTD.

Make you a deal - You give me that money, and I’ll buy you a few Monopoly sets. And some marshmallows. And some beers. We’ll get to light more dollars on fire.

I had to go to the R&D cell culture lab last weekend to scrounge for some L-Glutamine. They had, I kid you not, dozens of unlabeled, partially empty, bottles of... I don’t even know what.

Kook-Aid. I like it.

Well played
