Al, let the interviewer get in a few of her Sweet questions will you? thought you have a sense of honor toward the weaker sex so far,you have had full control of the interview.
Some guys seemed to liked to juice it.
Don't get pissed,reenlist!
My half brother wrote a "Book" once I tried to read it but it was too sour just a litany or bitch sad to saya guy can be mired in a solid negative attitude without even recognizing it if he is not alert to it's possibility
I always have felt naked (under my clothes)
Three man teams don't work out so well do they?or do they?
Yeah,was a habitual offender. Me too!
The just man falls 7 times,yet rises again.
Would rather have your participation with interviewer,than reading of your possible forthcoming book a toe in the water I suppose.pulp to me.laugh at your own "jokes"
