Hi everybody. So... I'm Irish. I read a report recently that a man reaches his sexual peak at age 18 but I didn't know this... until I was twenty five. So the world will never know what a stud I was. No one took a bite out of this peach when it was ripe.6 y4 s4 [9 {0 s4 N2 l2 w

I'm not good at sports, but I love parallel parking... because unlike sports, when you are parallel parking, the worse you are, the more people that are rooting for you.

I just had my first child last year. I was really amazed at it. I was in the delivery room, holding up my son, thinking to myself, "Wow... He was just born... And he's already a U.S citizen."

Roe is used as a play on words to describe "row", as in using a boat to "row" to the US.% H- s* B: J9 a

The denotation of wade was used, the definition meaning "to walk in water". |
