Dumbbell alarm clock - dumb

Dumbbell alarm clock - dumb
Shape Up from Fred and Friends is one of those bullying-style digital alarm clocks, designed to force you awake.

It's shaped like a mini dumbbell and won't stop buzzing until you do 30 reps. This would not get me out of bed in the AM, nossir. But it might make me smile. Smile happily as I grip its conveniently throwable shape and fling it heartily out of the window into the garden, and slip back to sleep. There's no info on price or availability, you may be pleased to know.

When in doubt blame the youth. That's a good way to really get people PISSED. It's clear that no real thought is being given to fixing this so called 'problem' A scatter gun approach is only going to result in more backlash.

I'm thinking cramming all of your shots and jugs before 1 might be a bit of an issue.

Don't worry about shots etc after 1, I'm sure there will still be plenty of drugs circulating anyway...
