The Family Tree

Rate: 14 Flag

So I think they must mean "chafed" but then I look it up online and find this definition in the Urban Dictionary

More info on Mr. Jacobs than we need....
Very funny post! (R)
Best family tree EVER!! :D
I'm never without my Shriner's pin when I hang around in hotel lobbies in the early morning hours.
Drunk? is that an arrestin' offense? geez. why aren't we all in jail?
I like the one called stout, who walks as if chafed....Must be in my family tree somewhere!
This is hysterical, if I found stuff like this I would put it on a family tree!
