Men have been known 10 pop at all
times aud In a variety OF places, II
men who have been there say that a
good solid pop overa garden gate lays
over any other sort OF a pop, and Is
the happiest kind of q pop.
All women like to have q man pop

get mad If the pop was a weak, sickly
Kind of a o without style, self re-

Men get off the best kind OF a pop
when they have both of their girls

their arms around her waist. This

When a fellows pop Is acceptable

when 1t is not acceptable, kissing Is

When q fellow pops be always pops

Popping Is a very ancient and o
