Is it Slimy Gent?limeygent said:I was working on my genealogy a while back, and after going back a few generations successfully found out that my surname could be spelled about six different ways. Apparently during the time when not everybody could read and write, the census takers spelled peoples names the way they thought they should. My genealogy research has been very challenging as a result.0 -

You must remember I was a somewhat nervous twelve year old at the time.
”I have come to snatch a kiss and fill your soul with hope.”
I blurted out.
“I have come to kiss your snatch and fill your hole with soap.”
