The Natural Philosopher
wibbled on Friday 02 October 2009 11:48 Just mention sex, and they can't wait to get away. I told them thank you, but God already spoke to me every day, through the little birds. A deadpan glazed expression is required. They thrust some kindling into my hands and departed hurriedly. Answering the door naked whilst supporting a sheep in front of you... Trouble is I never seem to have me sheep to hand. -- Tim Watts This space intentionally left blank... |
