Bartender:
The girl was a good lookin' girl and she could dance nice. The only thing was, she didn't have any tits! So, the boss told her, you go to Anaheim and get your tits pumped up and we'll give you more money. She goes to Anaheim, gets the silicone in her tits; when she gets back, her tits was hard as a rock. When she danced, her ears would move more than her tits! So, we had to fire her. See more » |
