Declassified: It’s a Medical Device, Okay?
In this week's Declassified, we plumb the scary depths of second-hand retail.

And then he gets stabbed in the shoulder with a shank made out of a balled-up sock and a tuna can.
If she isn’t a lawyer, that probably means she was on trial for some kind of small-claims crime, man! Do you really want to be dating someone who’s capable of breaking the law in some kind of tiny way? What if she gets mad at you and keys a small portion of your car?
