The meth-fueled
lab rat is utterly
insatiable.
Can’t refrain
from self-seeking
behaviors.
Has no
frustration
tolerance.
Can’t delay
gratification,
never sleeps.
Has zero
impulse
control.
Is in a
constant
frenzy.
Wants every
morsel the
other rats have.
Attacks
them
to get it.
But enough
about the
President.
Let me tell
you about my
day at the lab.
