What's more I can definitely recommend this new delousing cream which has just come on the market. Unfortunately, the little grey cells are suffering from combinations of old age, decay, alcoholic stupor and watching too many Poirot repeats on the tv. The best I can come up with is: A young fella, name of Jim Carroll, Collected folk songs, sans apparel. When asked how he dared, He said "You stupid great nerd. I'm wearing emperor's clothes under this barrel". |
