          Tom Telesco’s Results in 9 years as Chargers GM:

          - 69-74 record
          - 0 division titles in 9 yrs as GM
          - Worst record among all active GMs with same tenure
          - 6th worst winning percentage among all active GMs overall
          - 2 playoff wins despite elite QB all 9 yrs
          - Team still has the same weaknesses (Oline and run defense) that it had when hired as GM in 2013
          - Consistently puts together horrible depth, expects starters to never miss games

                      water can pentrate thru rock...Bruce Lee says. actually my sister's bf has a water jet cutter that cuts thru metal like hot knife thru warm butter...SUPER clean cuts.
                      in any case we all know JH can thread it thru the tiniest needle hole with his velocity.

                        As long as your strawberry is 50k to 60k psi and full of garnet I'm sure it will be fine.
