    I fast forward half way and pray she still isn’t slobbering on some knob at that point and they’ve gotten down to businesses already.

  It’s got huge amounts of applicability in many lifestyles and situations that most people never realize until the moment arrives. I once played a fun game that had you guess a number between 1 and 1 Billion with them telling you higher or lower to earn your freedom. Takes a couple of minutes at most.
