Well, Cook can't cook an egg, much less a goose. But xs is going to fry his little bottom. Let's see if he got her wrath . . .

Oh, awful! I'm glad he ended up looking like the ass**** he certainly was.
My ex wasn't into public scenes as a rule, but under the influence of too much alcohol, he would act out in public. Really embarrassing. Once, he bragged about his new mistress to me when we were eating dinner at a very nice restaurant after we had separated, supposedly to discuss a possible reconciliation. He made all sorts of comparisons unfavorable to me, from age to the fact that I was too skinny for his taste. When I reminded him that this was risky behavior, he said he wasn't worried about my making a scene, because he knew I was too much of a lady to do such a thing. Since we had come in separate vehicles, I stood up, dangled my keys in his face, smiled, and whispered that I was leaving, and I would key-scratch his brand new truck on the way to mine. When he tried to jump up and grab me, I reached across the table and overturned his platter of food into his lap, ran out to the parking lot, got into my truck and drove away. I wouldn't be so petty as to scratch a nice new car, especially since some of my money had gone into buying it, but he didn't know that. That is the worst scene I have made in public in many years, and it still makes me feel good to think about it.

Xsex's lawn is neatly trimmmed regularly .... Polished and waxed.
Does that imply her lamb is shorn?
(Her lamb'swarm?)
(Her pussy cat's hot?)
(She has a hot dog? She uses a hot dog?)
(She likes a spicy Weineron'er? Weiner'n'er?)

XS does seem to have some sort of fixation on male..er.. shall we say.. seperation?
I hear she carries a gillotine-style cigar cutter with her at all times...probably has a few notches on it...
