Blessed in Holy Water, that sent the Holy Father, have you ever smelled flesh that sweats out Monarch vodka? 11 AM in the morning, and you can't get it off ya, calling to the Preacher but it's like the Pastor isn't talking. Until the store opens I can read up on that doctrine, the people close to me say that I'm in need of a doctor.
