Filthy Grace

The guy on the treadmill next to you stinks — He literally stinks! Maybe the only thing filthier than his gym clothes are the conversations you overhear from the women in group exercise. At least your life’s all Downy fresh. Nice job. No? When we inject Botox into our Facebook posts our lives may look wrinkle free but we all know that dirt we hide is real. The higher we esteem ourselves the lower we go. Life’s going to get gross before it gets glorious. We humbly submit to you a totally righteous plan.
