Yeah, yeah, Tony Shalhoub, you sold me a bill of goods. Great show, but yeah, I don't buy it all the way. So I don't think there's any upsides to OCD. I have spent a lot of my life, though, thinking about microbes and worrying about contamination and having a fear of that. And so I'm sure that fits into my life in ways that I don't fully understand, but...
