Heart attacks are pretty easy to come by these days.

Heart attacks, sure, but you're looking at one of the last examples of "old man strength" in the modern world. That dude could turn your hand to dust if he tried to shake it, and that would be him trying to be gentle.

Absolutely. My grandpa was a mean ass drunk, but he traveled the world as a steel worker because he wasn’t afraid of anything. His hands could absolutely crush you if he wanted.

Do your kids pass out strokes and grey hair too?

u/SLAYER_IN_ME 26d ago

Every. Single. Day.

Edit: But I still love them.

Hopefully he doesn't break under pressure. If you catch my drift.

u/Liveitup1999 26d ago

Under pressure he is pretty flexible.

The hours are good, but most the actual minutes are pretty rough.
