He owned the company that saved 1,000,000 army privates back and arms, the Hesco Basket. No more sandbags. He also drove his gay off road segway off a cliff. Which is kinda funny, like a robot killing its maker. Rule number 1 of machines, if its going off a cliff, GET THE FUCK OFF OF IT! ---

Yeah a person died and it’s sad and all, but if this isn’t the definition of irony I don’t know what is. ---
