"I tried acupuncture once to cure a liver ailment. It wasn't the needles that bothered me; it was the Asian guy laughing at me in the background."

Blonde Girl

Bank Teller
"My bad breath was recently healed by a powerful new-age Certs flavor crystal."

Guy With Sunglasses

"This guy once told me he could redirect my chi energy by putting his dick in my butt. He was a very wise man."

Minority Guy

Francis Dhuey,

Girl With Glasses

Psychologist

Other Guy
