          Link fail.

          What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question? The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism. Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

              That's a nice tip, thanks! But be careful! Someone will learn how to hack the battery to hack your phone and since you are aware enough to protect yourself that can only mean you got juicier data.
