''(talking in harmony)'' Or anyone else you wanna do it with, we promise not to tell, like that new hot chick at work.

And it's like, why do you wear that if you don't want attention? But you know you shouldn't think that way because of the sexual harassment meeting you all had to go to. Seriously, how lame was that? And you couldn't help but notice that the female lawyer running the seminar had a huge rack. Like, ridiculously huge for someone who has to talk about that kind of stuff. Well, I guess that's the definition of the word ironeeeeee! ''(resumes singing)''
