For fuck’s sake. Is this a fucking joke?
“Get outta town.”

“Ya gotta help me out here.”
Come the fuck on.
“Well how ’bout that!”
That’s fucking great! Holy shit!
“Boy, I hear ya.”
Shut the fuck up.
“Excuse me?”
The fuck did you just say?
“Dang it.”
Fuck.
“Doggone it.”
Fuck!
“Well, shoot.”
FFFFFuuuuuuuuuucccccckkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk!
