It was not their tour bus that crashed, however. It was grand canyon tours bus that careened over Niagara falls and into the maid of the most, where rotten pancreas was playing an impromptu a Capella concert. There were no survivors. None worth saving anyway. ---

**snfaulkner** ’s sister has an extremely unusual name, is bad at capitalization and thinks she’s a ham sandwich, which is why she likes being bitten. The good news: her therapist had to have his jaw wired shut due to a car accident, so her progress has been rapid. But don’t accept checks from her. ---
