I shoulda read the fine print when I ordered an internet bride She didn’t look like her photo and was twenty four feet wide! I shoulda read the fine print, as she said she was QUITE hairy But her beard is bushier than mine, oh I’m feeling so contrary! I shoulda read the fine print when I purchased this old cow Her teats are far too shriveled I cannot milk her now! I shoulda read the fine print when I signed for my divorce She took me to the cleaners and now I’m broke of course! I shoulda read the fine print when I ordered myself a coffin As I won’t be around at the end to see what they send me off in! I shoulda read the fineprint contest Sponsored by John Lawless 01/17/18

Lovely flow Jan, it just bounced along. Funny though how we've all been caught out. They say it's there in the contract section b article 2 and you need a magnifying glass to see it lol Good luck in the contest. Regards Tom

Shoulda read all those things BEFORE you made your decisions. I don't blame you for the divorce part..look at the over use of eye shadow on that bride, and she is a titch hairy... hahaha
