Toombaru approaches Pete from the side.........while Pete is talking.......toombaru gently slides Pete's chair over to a blackboard upon which is written: " People are not obsessed with their own image.....They are nothing other then their own image " . Pete keeps talking.......toombaru gently takes Pete's head in his loving hands and turns it to the blackboard. Pete keeps talking.........Toombaru attempts to ever so gently cover Pete's mouth with duct tape. Pete tries to bite toombaru........ P: Ha, ha! Funny! Please don't stick your finger in my mouth, while I'm talking. I got sharp teeth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
