  • if you want someone's body fluids, be a nurse, I had someone else's vomit in my underwear last night. why are people paying for those things? yes get a life, I would be worried people would put my DNA at a crime scene and since we are living the movie idocracy, to prison I would go. I have had so many body fluids splash my face and get in my mouth, I would never drink a beer with any vaginal secretions in it nor light candle that smells like it. revolting .
