BFH
I had to meet my ex for lunch to talk buisness, Things went wrong, she got in her car and sped away.
I thought to myself she's in a Big F Hurry.
Later on I asked her about the BFH, she say's whats that mean " B**ch From H*ll ".?
This she came up with all on her own, it was a new one on me.
30 some years later I'm still laughing.
