One of those things that reminds you that you’ve probably eaten a lot of disgusting things you don’t know about.... Like the day I caught my dog drinking out of my water glass; he was ten years old, I’d never seen him do it before, but I knew, I knew it had to have been going on the whole time.

$23.7 million??????
