This is why our education system is under funded.

Who cares about a moron who needs a 9kg necklace, how's the MRI machine?

It was for weight training

Yes, I remember the part in Pumping Iron, starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, where he was using a 9kg necklace in preparation for his role in The Terminator.

This is stupid. He knew his wife was getting an MRI. He was an irresponsible ass and ignoramus. What was more important? His wife's MRI or his precious necklace weight training, at 61 no less?

And he had multiple heart attacks? The picture of health.

And now a MRI machine is out of order, how many people's tests have to be rescheduled for one 61 year old's fantasies of being a weight training badass? Your wife needed an MRI, put the high school jock nonsense aside for an hour or two.

"It was for weight training". Fuck me.

Let people enjoy the bling they earned.

He can enjoy it at home. He could if he were still alive I guess.
