You know, just the other day, at Johnny Rocket's, I was trying every line I had on this crazy hot chick. And after using EVERY LINE I had, she told me that she didn't need anything but monkey. At the time I was hurt and confused. Now it totally makes sense. (She was the girl on the left!)
Well its a well know fact monkeys are evil. And as we all know evil/dickbags get all the hot chicks.
Amen to that! Maybe I should become evil!!!
