relationships, tried having sex with a child's ride out-side a
charity shop, swam next to a sewage pipe, had
unprotected sex with several
prostitutes, to wake up several days later in prison, with a guard explaining he burned down half the town, contracted and spread several diseases, alienated himself to the nation, and was facing charges of manslaughter, assault, rape, vandalism and much more. ...all because he didn't read the label on the cough syrup. epic chain fail."
