<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I do have friends who play golf <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You actually have friends <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Do you pay them <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Am I your friend <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course as we are engaged <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I have known you forever <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Why do you think Josie purchased it <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because it was Mad Josie <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before she caught her train <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You two were deep in an argument <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>About one of her silly friends <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Who you had brought to tears <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I have since apologised<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can be such a cunt Joe <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Two and two never make five Sephine <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I agree but you do shoot from the hip <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is all part of the

<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Why <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because you are incredibly beautiful Sephine <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mary Moon is not in the least beautiful <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She is the size of a pyramid <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Without beauty the world is nothing <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That is so cruel Joe <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Are we going to fight <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I have no intention to fight with you <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just because I am a cool calm blonde <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Does not mean that I could not slap you sometimes <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Deep down I am as fiery as Josephine <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Why did you call her Josephine <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because that is her name <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We all call her Josie <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You very rarely call her Josephine <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I have noticed on the rare occasions <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When she fucks you off <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That you call her Josephine <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Grow up Josephine <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You are so like your brother Josephine

decent weight for its size <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Enough to kill a man <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Possibly <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It would probably do more damage to a cat <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Why do you ask <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because even beautiful blonde girls <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Can fantasise when the planets are in alignment<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then I have about three days to live <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Do not push your
