wendy's cunt seems to be recession proof, though she's on edge because the time 11:11 always seems to be inching up her adult-diaper/catheterhybridasshole. So her BIGDADDYboss lowered the frequency bandwidth of her eyes from colorlight to sounds and now she's got ears for eyes. Though the pupiliris is still ensconced as a vestigial harmon mute which tends to fuck her bulbvoids of fullfrontalfacial arrondissement-semen.

...ahem...this is why Joe Henderson entitled it..."in&out"...

is the plan B pill for beta-tapping tea leoni's hieroglyphic-sacerdotalass?
