I laughed and cheered him on

It doesn’t seem wise to me, but I know people do it for some reason. I was driving to work one night, it was after 11:00 PM. I was on my way to my security guard job.

I was behind a car with a couple, a man and a woman. The woman started by running her hands through the guy’s hair, then she scooted closer.

I mean, come on, get a room

A man driving an SUV crashed into a FED-Ex truck The couple in the SUV were both naked. The man received minor injuries when the woman bit him.

I mean, come on, where’s your self-control? There are parks in Florida, Mangroves you can hide behind. You will have to look hard, but there are beaches that have secluded areas.

The whole thing makes me squeeze my legs together and cry “ Ouch.” Have a little self-control. You don’t want to end up with your name in the newspaper or be turned into an Internet meme.
