Gennaro Pelliccia personally tastes a sample of each batch of raw coffee beans at its London plant before they are roasted and shipped to its stores.

TEN MILLION THOUGH

Fucking hell, what intrigues me though is how you can "insure" a body part?

Yeah, that big-dicked white guy, can never remember his name, had his for $4M, I think.

The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP

A lot of athletes have insurance for injuries that prohibit their playing ... as do musicians. This is a form of disability insurance for ailments that prohibit them from doing their career.

This tongue thing is just an odd form of disability.
