“There are three ways to come out of this lockdown. A hunk, a chunk or a drunk. Your choice!”

At U.S. embassies in conflict zones, they have a saying for what happens to you after spending several years in the boring, isolated safety of the embassy compound: You either become a chunk, a monk, a hunk, or a drunk.
I have a feeling this is also true about quarantine.

Social distancing is like the whole world being on deployment.
Whole lotta y’all about to find out about the greater “hunk, chunk, or drunk” theory.

Alright y’all here’s some truths. During this time home, pick your poisons wisely. You’re coming out of this one of three ways.
1) Hunk
2) Chunk
3) Drunk
May the odds be in your favor
