If I ever get rich, I would totally open a ghost pizza restaurant. Margins are good. Spoilage is a non-issue. Orders are pickup or delivery. I can bring 10 pizzas to every party.

If you aren't strong swimmer you should not play in ocean waves. If you don't know if you are a strong swimmer you are NOT. The ocean doesn't give a shit about your life.
