Some personal faves
“One day we’ll look back at this moment and laugh, nervously.”
“He’s a stupid mans idiot.”
“I am SOOoooo glad I’m not you right now.”
“If the cap fits wear it, however, there are other forms of contraception…”
“All men are potential rapists! I beg to differ I’m a convicted one.”
And here’s one I hate
