Quotes

"At 13 you whack off 19 times a day anyway. Imagine being on a viagra and like a liter of Mountain Dew, and home alone with the VCR on a snow day from school. His mom would come home from work and open the front door and a big avalanche of semen would come out and wash her down the street."
