having a p*ss before the film starts.

RAPPERS. Avoid having to say 'know what I'm sayin' all the time by
actually speaking clearly in the first place.

tomfoolery after a trip to Trueprint.

MURDERERS Need to dispose of a body? Simply parcel it up and post it

If you're a woman, it's more likely you answered "face it", if you're a man, the other way around.
 
I "face it", yes. Why would men stand the other way around?
 
I don't know, I read it on a site that listed lots of little differences between men and women. I face it too, but my boyfriend has his back to it, so I guess it's true ;) .
 
But then some of them don't even "ban" drugs. What does more harm, weed or coke? (don't answer)
