I hate these things. They're never accurate. Let's be honest. If they were even fractionally truthful, they'd look more like this:

PS: I made a good decision two years ago. It was sealed in cement, yesterday. I feel better.
PPS: Mr 747 is going to the Kok of Bang tomorrow for a week of “work.” Work, my ass – I don't think he realises the phrase 'Red Light District' means “crazy-as-fuck-sexual-fetish-suburb.” Amsterdam has nothing on this. He should remember (a gentle reminder, of course), that the women there aren't often women. Ladyboys are deceptive like that. I may not be able to shoot darts from my nethers, but I do have a bona fide set of genitalia.
Man, he's lucky.
