Allow me to rock your world: This week we learned that the “tautness” of an ass has nothing to do with whether or not you could bounce a quarter off of it. In fact, it’s funny that an ass you “could bounce a quarter off of” was ever used to describe a great butt, considering that phrase originally described tightly made military beds. What one has to do with the other I’ll never know. Besides, these days everyone loves a fat ass!
In any case, it’s nice to know that you can be carrying a semi-truck behind you, and a quarter will likely still bounce off it if you really tried.

I am not going to read one single response, so haters, don’t bother. It’s a simple but detailed thesis explaining how it progressed. It feels like the campaign against her is very well-funded? and the volume makes me feel it is very well coordinated? https://t.co/nN5cV7cyzR
