...that these shenanigans are completely new to us. When you spend your life outfitting patients with the Joe Dokes Knee Prosthesis, you get a glimmer that Joe Dokes himself must be making some money on the thing.

The video is so unpretentious and low-budget that if it weren’t for the occasional twinkle of old school bling or the sporadic glimmer of gold teeth, you might think you were watching an Indigo Girls video. Okay, only if you really squinted your eyes. Just when you start to feel overcome with nostalgia as blurry images of the “poet’s” native Queens flash before your eyes...
