... Sheng Jiang is fresh Ginger.
I tell you what Mr. Frodo sir - Every time I see that Ginger outside
when its cold she offers me hot chocolate
- but I get the butterflies and go right to vomiting!
All the other girls are so much nicer and less toxic
to me when she's around but last winter one o' them meaner girls
got me high on pipe weed and gave me a cold
cough. And that ain't no hobbit jive neither Mr. Frodo, you can
even ask Mr. Da Zao will harmonize my story
for you!
