In Taiwan, Everything is Easy

Teacher Frank Smashes The Record for Debauchery in Too Much Six " I laid my head down on the table; next to my half-finished microwavable lunch. The A/C at 19 degrees would have froze any normal person; if I didn’t have the harshest case of the booze sweats that must have been inflicted on any human being.
