She lies back on the couch, pulls her skirt up, rips her knickers off and says 'This is for the flowers!' 'Don't be silly,' says Paddy, 'You must have a v...

Women are like phones: They like to be held, talked to, and touched often. But push the wrong button and your ass is disconnected! Women are Angels. And when someone breaks our wings.... We simply continue to fly ......... on a broomstick..... We are flexible like that.

'No, silly,' she replies, snuggling up to him. 'Your boyfriend, then?' he continues. 'No, not at all,' she says, nibbling away...
