Ever wonder why goofballs walk this earth? You know them, not a serious thought in their head for more than 58 seconds at a time. They believe that life is a playground, and they need to enjoy each and every ride that exists. And taking on a serious role, where they have to act the part of the heavy? “Not happening, dude!
