OK ~~ who is the chick in the pic and how is she contacted?
why haven’t I had a service talk bout the dangers of lighting fireworks on my person
In my neighborhood, we called it the “good ol’ boy’s last words,” which were, “Hey Ya’ll, watch this!”
I made some “questionable” decisions in my youth, as most of us did. I am keenly aware that “But for the Grace of God goes I.”
Definitely Postal related. Information we needed to know. Glad it was posted…………………
Sounds like a genius!
Can’t fix stupid…
