Hey, Bubba!

Hey, Bubba! You’re gonna be quite upset when you discover they’ve pulled the condom machine out of your favorite gas station toilet, the one with the “French ticklers” you so fancy.

Hey, Bubba! You’re gonna be mighty disappointed when you walk into your favorite Hooters and discover all the waitresses are wearing neck-to-ankle Amish dresses.

Hey, Bubba! You’re gonna be cryin’ your eyes out when you discover that you and Mrs. Bubba have to pay for proper Christian burials for your frozen embryos.

Hey, Bubba!
