5 out of 5 stars Still Alive - Enough Said!, October 25, 2004
Reviewer: John Doe (St Louis, MO USA) - See all my reviews
Sausage Gravy Lard Balls are a Thanksgiving Tradition in my family. A tradition that almost proved fatal last year! Philips HeartStart Home Automated External Defibrillator (AED) was a real life saver after my heart rejected the pork laden calorie balls! Thank you Philips...and thank you Grandma! Your quick reflexes combined with the ease and power of the Philips HeartStart Home Automated External Defibrillator gave me something to truly be thankful for!

I am not sure whether to laugh or be angry or just be plain old confused. Im leaning more and more towards the 'laugh my ass off' option. You should check out some of the other reviews that this guy wrote :-)
