You just landed yourself in one boiling hot mess! I guarantee you that one day you will be like that guy who almost always accidentally spills gasoline on his pants on his way home just to mask any strange odors around him. Trust me.

I guess by now you are already thinking about buying that new contraption; penisometer so you can measure and keep a tab on the mileage of his penis to be sure he’s not being unfaithful. Why oh why my dear friend, did you get married?
