I want you to do your best to pronounce these words. Okay. Um Time. Okay. Hey, so do you have sex with these boyfriends who can't read? Isn't that like a crime? Arent you taking advantage of the underdeveloped or something? And don't even get me started on the wanting to have sex with these men who can't read. He looks at the word queue and pronounces it "Q-U-E-U-E". I would be dry for the rest of my life. It would be impossible. It's not happening, babe. Oh, guys, oh. No. This person will be here, emergency contact if all goes well. Also, why aren't you ashamed of that? You couldn't waterboard this information out of me. If you find this funny, then I'm forced to believe that you're dumber than me.
