Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top once said that " every girl's crazy 'bout a sharp dressed man ". And while Hank, one of the characters of 7 Days to Die could easily be a member of ZZ Top, surely no girl is getting crazy 'bout him, as he does not possess a single sharp feature.

You'll probably die in only; like; 1 or 2 days
