So what do we do? On the one hand I don’t want to live in a world where we’re too big to enjoy a good ‘ol round of fire extinguisher jetpacking, but on the other hand…’Merica. I’m not cutting down my back intake just to play with some measly fire extinguishers. I think I’d much rather sit back and complain about how it’s 2014 and we still don’t have hoverboards!
