      My ex bought me the video, 18.99!! 😱 when it came out, for my birthday, and it had a sleek and shiny, black case, and has sat on a chair in this outfit on the cover. And the fur coat had fur on the case! Gos I love this guy

    In my family there is a husband of my sister-in-law who always tries to squeeze my hand. He doesn't do it with any one else, just me.
    I've always suspected he's trying to compensate for something he's lacking.

    • @ryanjones_rheios
      @ryanjones_rheios 4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      My guess its less compensation and more either a fear of looking weak to you, or a wish to impress you. The former makes me question your character, the latter to hail it.

Hell, I'd forget my own name if I didn't have it sewn into my underpants. Which reminds me... Hi, My name is Mark Sandspencer. Hmm, that's odd, I could've sworn I was called George yesterday...

    I always react if someone handshakes too hard. I politely patronize them with a quip: "That's a strong handshake, are you trying to break my hand?"
    Normally they'll smile, often a weak smile when they realize i'm ready to embarrass them if they do something stupid at me.
