Lets see now, this is a tough one...

1. If I were a fiddeler crab and I had a little tiny claw on one side and a great big claw on the other - what would I name the larger one?

2. When I was born there were two of us and when we grew up he weighed 200 lbs but I weighed 350. What would I be called?

3. If I knew a girl with one big titty and one little tiny titty, what would you affectionately name the bigger titty?


Please let me know if you still need more information to decide...
