Tis my fervent hope that these folk don't reproduce. Alas, I'll probably be disappointed. Dozy buggers seem intent to flood the world with their ill bred brats with IQs stumbling on the sub-normal. I think we should all be issued with a license before we breed. Consider a point system with a threshold. If you don't make it past the line, off with your nads. Of course, beautiful, tall, blond, magnificently formed, educated coves with a high IQ, such as my self would be constantly supplied with a bevy of pulchritudinous young lovelies with exceedingly large breasts.

One of the bus drivers had to get out and show him how it's done.<br /><br />Our bus driver commented "if you can't drive it why buy it?"A K Haarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05897490979828603179noreply@blogger.com
