Ok, so I mooched the idea by reading the song one. Well there are the same rules but with 15 words instead of 10. The line has to be by one character only, for instance, it can’t be 5 words by one charater then 5 by the next character. It has to be one line. Well here are some starters… 1. Anyone ever try to take your manhood? 2. It’s a fat girl’s name 3. Attemtep vehicular manslaughter, whatever the f\*\*k that means! 4. You didn’t tell them about my pubes did ya? 5)Hey my girlfriend’s dead you know. She fell off a cliff and died on impact. 5. I was really pissed at God when I broke my leg. 6. Bunch of savages in this town. 7. PC load letter? What the f\*\*\*'s that mean? 8. You could’ve just asked. 9. She got a little creative on the PA ---
