You can’t expect me to believe you were only massaging the enchilada. Cross-examination revealed that he had a great deal of experience going to town on the pipe. Shut the door! I’m boarding the red cave. Like most guys his age, he wasn’t above smacking the cheap weeping bishop. Guess what I’ve been doing? That’s right – plowing the cadaver. HA HA HA HA HA! 😃 ---
