We spent 40 minutes chewing the fat in my driveway.
He used to work out withRocco Baldelli.
And like me, Yaz was one of his favorite players growing up.

The Yastrzemski model was exactly what he was looking for.

Well, maybe there was that one time… Oh, forget I mentioned it.
It was a one-time thing, an isolated incident, and she wasn’t hurt.
She’s perfect and still a virgin.
I’m gonna list her as"Mint Condition,Like New"and see what happens.
My wife wants her out of the house…
I don’t getmy money for nothing or my chicks for free…
