This is a full frontal assualt of fruit. If you like having yor tongue kicked by a granny smith apple this is the one for you. This is a great marriage for one that likes legs that taste a bit vinegarry, especially considering the inability of infedility on her part. ------------------ The BD & GG radio show |
