" Let me just say that I adore ear plugs. They come in handy for smashing concrete in a confined space, going to the shooting range, and unexpected run-ins with someone playing Nickelback. I’d have said Justin Bieber, but I wouldn’t use ear plugs there… that would be justification to simply shoot the stereo. "
