"A basketball diameter is 10 inches and a rim is 18 inches so I made a 14-inch rim I put in to practice on. Few people could do that because it was so frustrating that it drove everyone but me nuts.

And it explains why you can preach against condom use in sub-Saharan Africa while millions die from AIDS there each year. (25)”
