- 01:13
if asked to find the difference that matters the least
- 01:16
Well we'd have a tougher time of it because well

of a no no when taking goc option is the
- 02:03
correct answer because it's the on ly one that hits

speaking to a man's needs while fanny's piece shows a
- 02:12
woman thinking about a woman's needs he's from mars She's
- 02:16
from venus Oh when will they ever find common ground
