Ah!

I had one take off from me as well!................It didn't go very far! A friend was standing in the way, he was stretching out, ached his back and ''BANG!''....IT WAS DEAD ON FOR YOU KNOW WHERE! Well I'm glad to hear that he was still able to have kids. But I still think it slowed down down his Columbian jumping beans!.He used to live in a International dorm, on all of the doors in the basement of this dorm there was little signs stating!
