        Well yes, if this exact circumstance happened to me it'd be an insane mess. But that wasn't quite the premise of this thread. -- nm - Qale Jan 24, 12:02 2
        
        looks like everyone else read an implied "suddenly" -- nm - zork Jan 24, 12:04 1

      - Yes and no. - Spawn Jan 24, 12:01
