Yet we all still kid ourselves and keep putting more perfume on the pig... And I include myself on that too. It's kind of like Homer Simpson grabbing the electrified donut. He gets shocked, and drops it. Sees it again, grabs it, gets shocked, drops it... and keeps doing it... Same thing. We can keep putting more perfume on the pig, but it's still going to shock us and drink the petrol like crazy... But they do look damn good doing it, don't they?!?!
Look good and cheaper than a new one in the long run.
