Self abuse makes you blind... My mum told me that... she said I was to stop, cos if I carried on the way I was I'd go blind... (Oh and it gives you pimples)... I said can I do it a little bit and wear glasses... (Oh and it makes you deaf and insane).

What hey!... who said that... what?... Umm you'll have to look at me when I'm talking to you....... I'm a bit deaf in that eye.
