    Its swite kerprising what one can find when nerfing the swet. I personally believe there is such a thing as a dyslexic pomcuter. Does this joke fit the category? Mahatma Gandhi, as you know, walked barefoot most of the time, which produced an impressive set of calluses on his feet. He also ate very little, which made him rather frail and, with his odd diet, he
    suffered from bad breath. This made him. . . . .
    a super calloused fragile mystic hexed by halitosis.. . . . . . . . .?

    I always thought something was wrong with me because I often speak in Spoonerisms. But now I know that something is not wrong with me – there is something wrong with the rest of the world. Vist my blog for more!
