Does it have to by physically next to you. I tried that once and it got a little odoriferous
A few thousand miles in between may help out the environment more.

Haha, very funny guys.
Chuck, as close as you and I sat, only this time there will be no walls between us. The walls aren’t needed now that you’re gone:)
Derrick, we all know who was the walking air de-freshener. Garbage bag + Underwear…phew. The smell and flying BS wasn’t emitting from you or I that’s for sure, well maybe after a few of my 40 hour shifts.
Randy, as an added bonus you would get to work in the state where the Pronger brought home the Cup. If Pronger kept his cup on a bit more in Edmonton he might still be there. Ouch!

Okay, maybe not killed, but definitely ruthlessly heckled. By really annoying people. I know people.
