OG Badger: Ever hear the story about The Lawn Mower Blade Incident at DVI?

Splinter: Nah homey! What happened?

OG Badger: A dope fiend with a drug debt was deemed No Good. So the Shot Caller ordered a youngster who was on the landscaping crew to conduct the removal. The dope fiend ended up with a lawn mower blade in his chest. There were mad heads on the yard that day but no one saw nuthin'.

Splinter: That's why DVI is called the Gladiator School.
