Did you know that when a guy comes, he comes 200 million sperm?

You ought to hear the arguments around my house: "They're annoying, they're idiots." "They're evil, they're fucks!" Brothers, sisters, come together! Can't we once just join hands and think of them as evil-annoying-idiot-fucks? I beseech you. But that's me...

Take that to the bank, cash it, and go fucking on a vacation out of my life.
