I'm only two sentences into this one and... "dickbiscuit"??

Please hang on to my glass of wine I need to go outside and laugh myself inside out.

p.s. Please don't cover it with chocolate. Please.

p.p.s. I'm not supposed to be reading this right now. Supposed to be researching something for my next Holiday Tour feature. Read the whole damn thing anyway it was too good
