Two Angry Twins? These guys don't believe in pre-marital sex, birth control OR masturbation.
No wonder they're upset all the time.
Br. John recommends these guy's have a Good Country F ... you thought a dirty word was coming - shame on you ... Country Fried Steak dinner and a wife that's both as insatiable and as capable of dropping babies as Br. John is apt to drop names. They have a fine site though.
So close to Jesus my faucets run hot, cold and wine.
