You should probably talk about flood insurance here as well.

It’s like NASCAR. 

Somebody actually uses Siri?

Wife brought this beauty back from Israel once. Pen is for scale. Some women collect handbags or shoes - she collects brooms.

Just break one of the “immediate termination of your membership if you do this” rules. E.g. at my gym, if you even take water into the sauna, you’re gone.
