Still in my rebellious rite-of-passage phase. I anticipate always feeling as whimsical as I was when I chose this. Thinking ahead deficient. Quite willing to flirt with infections. Personal names on my body are not necessarily indicative of my relationship with that person when you read this. I regretted this one almost immediately. It may be wrong to assume that I know what this...

Teddy Wayne's Unpopular Proverbs. (Bahasa)
Kebodohan. Ajukan pertanyaan bodoh dan Anda akan mendapatkan jawaban yang bodoh-apa bahkan berarti, meskipun? Pencegahan. Sebuah apel sehari membuat dokter pergi jika Anda seorang pelempar cukup akurat dan dia memiliki alergi kulit parah terhadap buah pomaceous. Penipuan. Membodohi saya sekali, malu pada Anda; membodohi saya dua kali, malu aku, bodoh saya tiga kali, dan kami mungkin memainkan...

Teddy Wayne's Unpopular Proverbs.
Hygiene. Cleanliness is next to godliness in my new store with a consonantally organized aisle system that skips two at a time, “The -liness Store.” Stupidity.
