It only costs $10.” Bill figured he had nothing to lose, so he filled a jar with a urine sample and went to the drug store. Finding the computer, he poured in the sample and deposited the $10.

Soak your arm in warm water. Avoid heavy lifting. It will be better in two weeks.” Lanjutkan membaca A Miracle Of Modern
