Oh, yes. And as Hootie alludes to, he was quite straight-faced and serious about the whole ballfrickingcocking topic. Really? You're going to stand there and say "Ma'am" to me in the same sentence as "ball" and "cock"??!?Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06331709146988974058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6328138894440374230.post-6716793007219643132011-11-13T16:28:18.957-05:002011-11-13T16:28:18.957-05:00The handyman showed me how to remove the floorboar...The handyman showed me how to remove the floorboards he'd fitted in the understairs cupboard should we ever need to turn the water off.

Furthermore, men have ballcock-centric conversations at the hardware store without cracking a smile.<br /><br />And yet, a couple years ago I had to kiss a girl during a play, and I couldn't stop giggling.
