Jeez! This is why I don't like doing "Skis"; Polanski, Krasinski, Romakowski, or "Anyotherskis." You know, guys of Polish decent? The fuckers spooge like lawn sprinklers when they pop. I scoop the last gobs Gribonowski's baby gravy out of my cleavage and thank Gods Unseen that I have the experience to efficiently manage such a messy exchange. He's pulled up...
Dan stowed his lube and tissue box in a cardboard carton, backed away from the observation post carrying the evidence of his deed in a crumpled tissue to be disposed of downstairs.
