Jim the sharecropper was angry at the white man for keeping him down all his life, so he picked up his guitar and became a traveling man, playing The Blues wherever he went.

The greatest music genre, the power and skill of it came from centuries of slaves being put in pens, and some of the only things they were allowed to do were sing, or play instruments if they had any.
As a result it built up and became an amazing style.
It turned into Rock N' Roll in the 20th century and is played by musicians such as Eric Clapton.
Some of teens condemn The Blues saying its boring, but if it wasn't for the blues we wouldn't have any of the music we listen to.

The Blues is a sexual position to which requires two people, one of which must be overweight. The overweight person must lie down compeletely naked whilst the other contender proceeds to pour Kraft brand macaroni and cheese into her vagina, she will then attempt to eat it and then regurgitate it back onto her vagina. The two will then continue with intercourse.
Name derived from Kraft's slogan: "I've got the Blues"

I found this fat hooker last night man, it was the perfect opportunity to try out The Blues! Too bad I didn't have the exotic position fee.
