        • Given that the Ebola death rate in Western Africa seems about 60%, they should inject it into Ben to make sure it is still lethal.

                          • "Gays without Borders" is real too. I thought it was just the street name for the Marines.

                              • I'm tempted to believe that there's nothing more to being a Marine than being dense and using acronyms but I'll take you're not representative either.
