MOUTHPIECE - February 17, 2015

Good Afternoon,

This has nothing to do with anything, but did you ever have someone switch your cereal with dog food as a joke? Then you realize it after about two months and you start buying dog food instead of cereal for breakfast because your hair grows in thicker and it's shinier, and your teeth don't have tartar on them.

The last two months have been a little weird, but I've never looked better.

Mouthing Off,
Carl
