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.5 \4 v9 k; E, u7 Z( x X

Roe is used as a play on words to describe "row", as in using a boat to "row" to the US.
