There’s no such thing as a free lunch!
Someone has to pay a price
I am always the one paying
Did I not just pay for your bruised pride
Tự ái?
What a loot!
My foot!
I’m on my knees
Between your legs
Trying to soothe your huge stiff ego
Begging
Please forgive me
What a hoot!
Congratulations sir,
Your top
Just popped
Here’s your medal
Go home, and show it to your wife!
