They're just stupid.
See, my oldest son is stupid.
The other day, I was trying to get into the bathroom.
.
.
and he tells me that he won't let me in because he's trying to go.
But every time he tries to go, it feels like his pudding pop is on fire.
Now.
.
.
my boy's got back draft going out his boxer shorts.
You see.
And, see, it's all because he didn't use any protection! No protection, see? This is why I'm endorsing.

See, if you get into the box, they give you a special one.
It's what I call the.
.

"Hey! Hey! Hey!" Condom, see.
So that's why.

and you start whispering, you know, sweet little nothings into the ear.
