Is it a hand warmer for tick checks?
lolz anon
tick checks reminds me of “chick checks”, which we ladies were instructed to give each other before leaving our dorm rooms everyday to ensure that none of us were accidentally exhibiting the sort of immodesty that would send our “brothers” into a frothing, uncontrollable frenzy of lust. The sort that involves not obscuring our newly acquired muffin-top with a wife-beater, for instance. Or pretty much anything that breaks up the illusion of the uni-boob, like an unfortunately situated purse strap. Or….you know what, this post could go on for paragraphs, so I’ll just stop there. 🙂
Anyway, tick checks seem a little to intimate; the HA would never allow it. We’d all get put on growth plans every time we came out of the woods.
Dang, I must have sent so many guys into an uncontrollable lust-fest yesterday with the strap on my purse yesterday. Thankfully I can cast out my demons with the holy water I just consumed…
