Either you are the pitcher or the catcher, but either way there is ass-fucking going on. Now take that little nugget and apply it to proctractors and you get the point. Bitches. And that’s only slightly less retarded than just installing a “Blow Off Valve Sound Box” in a car so it goes “WOoooooooooooooooosh” every time you get off the gas. ---
