Smoke at your own risk." You can lead a horse to water. Doesn't mean that he has to drink the toxic waste. You know people see free and jump for joy. Simple minded creatures we are sometimes. I'm all over the place. Trust me, I see your point.

You know you can't turn down free. I'm saying, I feel you. I know what you mean but its FREE and GHETTO as all hell. Can I just say this aside from this phone thing... We spend a lot of money on clothes that aren't worth it with other peoples names covering the entire shirt or pant. Now, what do people get in return for that? Props? Looking good? Accolades from friends? Chill… be easy. You know you can’t turn down free. I’m saying, I feel you. I know what you mean but its FREE and GHETTO as all hell.
