Why You Should Always Go Upstairs

So last week, I had to get my iPhone fixed. Why? Because my speaker broke down.Β  I knew I had to get it fixed when my girlfriend (who has never seen Star Wars in her life), called me and claimed that Darth Vader answered the phone: What I thought I sounded like: β€œHey so I’ll […]
