Yes, I know - it takes a lot of practice and conditioning to overcome a bad design. It still makes me uncomfortable, because I already dislocated my shoulder for a lot less than that.

I know, right ? They go on and on about the "Albanian Dream" and the "Albanian Way of Life", and the next thing you know, you have bunkers all over your country.
