#9 on that list is, imo, important.

It proves that supply guys have not changed in mindset and practice for all these thousands of years.

They’d rather the supplies rot rather than issue it out.

I told my wife that when I die, I want her to have me placed in a refrigerator and buried in the woods with the following items:

A Slinky
A bag of Doritos
A Chia kit
A beer can opener
Three right shoes

Wait until some archeologist digs that up in 2,000 years and tries to figure it all out.

Just for that heartfelt message, I’m going to put you in my will.

One of the knobs is missing, but it can make a really good up and down line.
