The Last Things Any Woman Would Say

The Last 11 Things Any Woman Would Ever Say:

1. Could our relationship be more physical? I'm tired of just being friends.

3. I think hairy butts are really sexy.
4. Hey, get a whiff of that one.
5. Please don't throw that old T-shirt away, the holes in the armpit are just too cute.
6. This diamond is way too big!
7. I don't mind throwing all these useless shoes out.
8. I won't even put my lips on that thing unless I get to swallow.
9. Wow, it really is 14 inches!
10. Does this make my butt look too small?
11. I'm wrong, you must be right again.
