Boxing took a weird turn when Mike Tyson bit somebody. LETS GET READY TO NIBBLE! And all these old guy were like 'He bit him oh dear Christ he bit him.' You're lucky he just bit him! Mike just got out of prison, you're lucky he didn't fuck him! Come on! You know biting is foreplay in prison. Mike would be going 'Break it up!' 'When I'm finished.' Mike's on Zoloft too. He said 'I'm on Zoloft so I don't kill you mother-fuckers.' I'm going 'Up the dosage, my man!'
