Somebody who is super funny.

[Sarah]

Is rod Stewart a man? Yes

 

Is queen a man in drag or old lady nobody would shag? She has offspring. I suspect shagging has occurred

 

Are man skirts popular? If they are nice men, yes, apparel is irrelevant.

 

Why do you drive on side nobody else used? Austrialia and Japan also drive on the left. Its because most people are right handed and so you can attack on the right with your sword from your horse.

 

Is India still a sore spot? No

 

Why riot over soccer? Cos they're stupid

 

Is prince a singer like our prince? No. Ours is an inbred German
