If he lets you in on his pooping information, which is sacred by the way, he loves you no doubt.”

He said, “She was in so much pain, and she said it worked immediately. She was hurting! No, no, no. You can’t understate the pain of a jellyfish sting. You can’t understate this. We have these chairs that are flat on the ground, all right? And so I dug a hole in the sand in front of me, and she stuck her foot down in it. I didn’t even have to move. I peed on her foot, and then I filled the hole in.”
“No one saw anything. We maneuvered all of our things around to where there was not anybody in our line of sight. I’m literally sitting almost ass on the beach; we’re low to the ground. Our chair bottoms sit on the dirt. We’re laughing like hell, yes. I was probably laughing a little more. Amy was hurting but laughing and crying. She was hurting and laughing. It worked!”
