Bases LoadedJanet Kuypers4/25/15
You men talk about bases,
First base: you go out for drinks
Second base: having sex.
Third base: that’s when
off guard, wait a minute,
you could spend the rest
marrying them. So you

That’s when it becomes so easy
What’s fourth base? (Yeah, I think
the maître d’ seats you
he gets down on one knee,
asks for your hand in marriage. you really hit a home run.
