Especially if the source is not reputable. Apparently it was loaded at way over twice the maximum safe pressure.

I know it was staged ( Will Smith slap ) but I bet he's having second thoughts now...

I saw something on the internet about Jayda's Condition...
And the new Drug for it.
And the Drug company sponsoring the show...
And I JUMPED at the conclusion it was WAY TOO EASY.
Mr. Smith was a SmartA$$ his whole life. No way he believed/thought that getting Physical was the right answer.
It just doesn't fit... But would he do it for $$$ and to increase awareness? You Bet!

Left ponders are somewhat slow but we don't eat snails. It's because we like fast food.

Couldn't eat a snail if my life depended on it

Odd guess at early stage? I try to eliminate as many letters as quickly as possible...

Sometimes I feel like that - to make it more interesting... and a very similar word was in my mind all morning...

It wasn't difficult but I got sidetracked by my choice of starting words. Anyway, I solved it, period.
