A holiday to remember

No,we shot the staff!
I don’t believe it!Where did you say you went?
Iraq!              Why not go yourself?
I’m unwilling to commit crimes I am moral
So,you just let your Government do it for you?

That worries me when I wake up at 3 am with two men in my bed..

Can males not buy their own beds?It’s not love they want,it’s clean sheets!

That’s my tale anyway
