I'm doing some work here, and I have been binge-watching crime shows to keep me going. The one I was watching was about Lorraine Bobbitt. Took a break and came here to find this! I'll never get this outta my head. "Who flew on the rocket?" "I don't know, but it looked like a flying dick..." #BlueOrgan
