I was beating off to some ill ass porn, then the knock-knocks came callin and I had to put the beef away. I got pissed, drew a pentagram on my forehead and answered with a massive boner, informing them that I had found solice in satan and blasphemy. I asked them if I could get back to having sex with this downs syndrome girl I had picked up at the bus stop. They haven't been back since.
