        Or, just squeeze them hard enough to squirt the juice into life’s eyes and say, “next time I want cold hard CASH DAMMIT!” Or just take some prozac with a slice of lemon.

          That’s good for if you happen to get into your atomic discombobulator when a fly is in there and you come out being half a man with a fly’s head. I hate when that happens - back to the hyudraulic press again!!
