Women’s T-shirt Sayings – Just found on the net

Next mood swing: 6 minutes. I hate everybody, and you’re next. And your point is… Warning: I have an attitude and I know how to use it. Remember my name – you’ll be screaming it later. You KNOW you want me. Don’t worry. It’ll only seem kinky the first time… Of course I don’t look
