FUNKY QUESTIONNAIRE!!!!!
Hello! How are we today? "We've" been better.
Care to elaborate? The weight of the world has crushed my spirit, I live in constant fear of failure and I have this tickly cough.
That doesn't sound too good, anything I can do to help? You can stop asking me these stupid questions.
Have you ever heard if you haven't got any good to say, say nothing at all? Let me think...No.
Perhaps we got started on the wrong foot. This inferior G2-Rip Off is tiresome
Should we stop?td Does Rupert Murdoch sleep on a bed of cash?
Anything Else? Got any TixyLix?

Simple assumptions can be made by a person's actions. To not sign someone's leaving card seems like a selfish act. To not sign a leaving card because they are an homophobic, racist bigot with a fat he...
