But mostly RAY SMUCKLES
There was this one time where I was taking out my tampon in such a fashion, that it involved pulling and tugging. I pulled, and I tugged at that delicate string, I felt that the tampon was full of such uterus gunk, that it involved a massive pull on my part. I pulled, and pulled and out flew that tampon on my face. A cotton mess heavily soaked full of thick menstrual blood.
