These guys really did make a lucky strike. One has to wonder...

How do I get one of those jobs?

I wish I could get paid to fail.

You wouldn't even have to pay me to fuck stuff up. I mean just give me Randy Depuniet's job...Test race bikes in the off season, crash yourself (and anyone else close) outta Gran Prix races. Don't pay me just keep putting me back on the bike the next weekend. Oh I might want a week or two off per year to heal...
