Girl #1: Oh, man, I still have to con­tribute mon­ey for the grad gift.
Girl #2: Yeah, I had to do that yes­ter­day.

And Then Kill Them All, Ex­e­cu­tion Style!

Girl: I love this new tooth­paste I got. It has green tea in it and tastes ab­solute­ly fan­tas­tic. It feels like there’s a tea par­ty go­ing on in my mouth, and I just want to in­vite my ted­dy bears or some­thing!
