                If your alignment is good, you can shift without a hand on the steering wheel.
                Enter the Church and wash away your sins. For here there is a hospital and not a court of law. Do not be ashamed to enter the Church; be ashamed when you sin, but not when you repent. – St. John Chrysostom

                  One hand to shift, knees to steer, and other hand to gorge on bacon.
