Wouldn't surprise me, considering her other health issues.
” Ya’ll freepers auta try it.”
A mighty nation has sprung from my loins.
Dad looks pretty hefty, not just the wife.
Why do overweight people tend to wear horizontal stripes? You rarely see them on thinner people.
Got 4. And you?
That gives new meaning to the term “anchor baby”.
