It was like orderin a hamburger and getting only the buns
It simply works. You do it twice a year. Who cares? And it balances my smoking and drinking.
Women say hello and then put their hands down my trousers. I thought it was my hand they were supposed to shake.

There are no airs and graces about her. ... I like her.
The love I have for my ex-girlfriends will always be there, so I think that's true love.
