Re: Window Cleaner Falls 12 Stories
I remember those days too Nudi ...... I used to love getting my guns out, giving them a good cleaning, and then go looking for people in wheelchairs. Yep, give me the good old days of Para Shooting The days before the community and the politicians looking for votes wanted to put them in Olympic Games, and make sure all water fountains were low enough to reach ........ I know, I know .......... I'm going to hell. |
