The guys I used to work with (sailors) used to make a very dirty crack about using the other hand...I won't go into that. Is he a sailor? /I crack myself up.

Baaahahahaha! I thought St. Louis was the only place that attracted this type! The chronic over-sharer
...but can he do both at the same time???
"You should see what I can do with my feet."
