[Healeys] Pain in the bum Test

[Mark LaPierre]

So you took out the garage and closed the garbage door, is that correct?

You were definitely flustered seeing as how you got the garage and garbage a 
bit mixed up.

I bet the skunks were more surprised than you however.   Good thing they 
didn't mark their
territory like our Healeys do.


Close one,  Mark
