Did you know …
That the bench is one of the worst inventions ever? It’s true.
Basically, a bench is just a piece of ground that someone made a little bit higher than the rest of the ground. This protects the user from minor floods and some worms. The bench offers little to no protection from major floods, smarter/better worms, flying insects, wind, or fire.
I guess if you often sit in areas with only minor flooding and ineffective worms, getting a bench might make some sense for you. For everyone else: save your money and get a pistol when you can afford it. Pound for pound, pistols offer some of the best protection you can get. (Ironically, though, pistols don’t protect against other pistols. Or VD.)
