Or, hey, why not convince that special someone you're a dangerous nutwad first - <I>then</I> she'll want to go out with you!<BR/><BR/>It's a miracle the human race has even managed to continue with guys like that running around. Your commentary on them was pretty amusing, though. I could just picture the dealer trying to impress you by letting the whole bux know he was holding weed. Too bad there weren't any cops in there!The Wandering Authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05404559867270050616noreply@blogger.com
