alwas pick out tho handyest place on you're

Biles are az old az religion. Job, tho prof.
it, was the fust champion oy biles, and he is
currently reported tew have more biles, and
more pushupcc to the square inch than emmy
one, two very rare things to be found in emmy
man.
Bilcs are very sassy sumt;mes whca yer
go to set down they will get between yer and

breeding, and I had one once plant herself on
the front end ov mi noze, which hazt q most

if l had tew have 2 biles on mo, awl
