Pine Nuts with McAvoy Layne: Most amazing gorl had the cheek to tell me I'm a bad speller
Submitted by Jeff Munson on Mon, 03/02/2020 - 1:31pmWhat I know about gorls you could put in a gnat's ear. It's not because I haven't tried to understand gorls, I have tried to understand gorls. They make great mothers and grandmothers, I know that. But you show me a man who says he understands middle-aged gorls and I'll show you a big fat liar. Though just because we can't understand gorls does not mean we can't love gorls. There is something comforting and contenting about a gorl's voice, a gorl's laughter.
