In the words of Bill Burr 'I don't know why anyone would voluntarily bug their own house. Do you REALLY think you are the only one listening'? He also says that sending your saliva to Ancestry.com is akin to helping the Illuminati finish your robot replacement. Note to Self: watch more Bill Burr clips. Laugh | :laugh:
