There was a decomposed head, too, and before leaving work she planned to simmer it and study the exposed cranium for contusions.

'Ol'-fashioned skull boil at five p.m."

That's such an error.' And I was like, 'Well, honestly, I don't really care what you think!' I've never felt so confident as I did with short hair - I felt really good in my own skin.”
“Colleges don't make fools, they only develop them.”
