Heck no. I wouldn't be able to handle the stress. You should see some of those guys. During lunch, they're all outside smoking on cancer sticks trying to figure out how they're gonna put 20mil in the market by the end of the day... LOL.

I've never touched a cig since I was 15, but my grandfather smoked until he was 74 then died in an accident. Makes you think, doesn't it.

Pretty cool, but you would think if someone went through the trouble to make it they could have at least proofed the graphics. Anyone paying attention would notice the 500 and 700 quantities are reversed...
