Everyday as he passes them, the hookers wave at him with their pinkies and say, "Hi there little boy!" One day the boy stops and asks one of the hookers why they always wave at him with their pinkies. They reply, "Well, that is what size we imagine your penis to be... it is just a joke!"

But, if there is any more weight than that, the spoon will drop into the milk and he will detect it upon his return home. He comes home several days later. The first thing he does is reaches under the bed and retrieves the bowl. The bowl is full of butter.... ======================================================================= NUTHIN' BUT A "G" THANG Nebula BOS ARTISTS will represent at the annual Music Festival in Grahamstown.
