ouyangwulong says:

Confucius say:

"Oh man, why don't you f***in' stop it? Sh**, this is too f***in' big for you, you know that? Who did the baking, who made the fortune cookie, f*** man! It's a mystery! It's a mystery wrapped in a riddle inside an enigma! The f***in' bakers don't even know! Don't you get it?"

(In Bed)
