Paid Faux Cottage - It's the only real riviou left, he's paid for, and he's talking false, all Egyptians, all foreign accounting workers, the idea that I'm crazy to say it's a bad company because I'm working with. They're just the Jaboo people who pay them, and I'm the whole DDF people. I wish it's something that's trusted in, a cash, a cash, a cash, a cash, a cash. Thank you, and Weary’s intriguing for speaking with me because he’s a Ray, a shower, and God’s witness to my speech
