I always thunk that the beresheet in the woods. Maybe i gotz it mixed up with does the pope sheet in the woods?
And they need more of our money , dam
They gotta get there now.

But…. I’m way ahead of these people….
I have already filed a claim that Ur anus is my sovereign domain.
Wait till they get there to see the no trespassing and private road signs .
But… I’m not a harsh and relentless god.
I’ll put at least a truck stop and a strip club on URanus.
