Yes! Disregard the code! Don’t even think about the building code!
And don’t worry, the ballroom certainly won’t fall down with you inside it, piggy!
I have never been horny before in my life, on account of being asexual, but the thought of this ballroom collapsing under shitty building practices while housing the top thousand richest bastards in society, is certainly making me feel something hormonal.
Never in your life? I always assumed asexual meant very rarely horny, not literally never. Is that common?
Forty years old, still a virgin. Sex-repulsed. Doesn’t cause a problem in my life. Immune to most advertising. Watching people make the same stupid mistakes about birth control time and time again, and never understanding why. My line ends with me and that’s fine.
It’s a spectrum, but there are people who are literally never horny. It’s not common though.
We should be so lucky.
It'll probably collapse on a kindergarten tour group while piggy is in Europe meeting with Putin.
Along those same lines, they should have a Wizard of Oz ball using the original snow recipe from the movie.
