  • The man handing you an Arby-Q might be a marginal pro football player

    We always assumed that when pro athletes are waiting around for a team to sign them, they pass the time by practicing "making it rain" techniques on their cats, or perhaps finally getting around to painting a watercolor portrait of themselves, shirtless, lying on the hood of a red Hummer.
