  1. After spending MY teen years in Knoxville, I’m not surprised. haha

    This is one of the funniest things I’ve read in a long time. How LONG was that meeting, anyway??

    Hilarious! 🙂

  2. Not to put too fine a point on it… but this is why I live in the NYC area. Oh, sure we have nutjobs that compare PP to the KKK, claim PP “promotes” sex and other such nonsense. However, they are a much smaller percentage of the population.
