a girl is in love with you: ask her or
don't ask her
If a woman really has more sense
than her husband she never lets him
know she thinks so,
The rib was an afterthought The
Lords first idea was to make Eve out

1t always seems pathetic to father
to hear his little children say the an

Love is so pretty that the women

one of its wings to dust things with.
When you see girl eating an or

can generally be sure that if she was
alone she would stick her thumb
through the rind and suck it.
