Damn...you got me..I have personally used:
ReplyDelete3.
8.
9. (but only in Amsterdam)
10. (but only in Australia)
11. (but only in Amsterdam again...damn me our weather sucks)
12.
15.
16.
18.
24.
31.
42.
45. (I am in Amsterdam after all)
46. (ditto, as per above)
48. (well...I can...but the leash attached to my nipple clamps usually won't let me run far)
51. (now that really IS true...my right knee knows morse code)
88. (if you only knew how often THAT one has been the reason...)
93. (and that...)
94. (daily...my girls are heavy duty)
97. (never truer words spoken)
But I was surprised to see one left of the list that I have used multiple times...
101. I had hot monkey love relations (boom-chica-wah-wah) eight times last night and now cannot walk straight let alone run...
Where was that one? I haven't had to use it for a week but I plan on using it again in the future...boom-chica-wah-wah!
RG - Ha!! On 101, it's sad (very sad, very very very sad) to say that since I took up running last year I haven't had the chance to use that excuse. Clearly, Carlos the Hot Pool Boy is not doing his job. I think he needs a leash....!
ReplyDeleteI know where you can get the leash for Carlos (for when you need to walk the big dog!)...but the better solution is to replace him with Chad the Hot Pizza Delivery Guy...sex and pizza...who needs more...
