The mechanism is too stiff! It's hard and rigid; there's no easy slide action here. To obtain a proper wank action would break it!

Whaaat?! IMPOSSIBLE! This Beachcomber's mechanism is Too SNIFF! Too SNIFF, I tell you! No Man could ever possibly wank it!

To wank the new Beachcomber a Man would have to possess supernatural wanking strength! A Wank-strength the likes of which Gods have not seen before!

[The Doctor]

Phil did not show me his parrot.

-Ralph

[Shockprowl]

He didn't show you the parrot....


The sick bastard.



Has his 'fill but doesn't care where you are.
