  1. Oooh! i sent in my saliva! And I found out I was 3.9% Neanderthal!
    But I have no back hair! And my IQ is … well (ha ha) probably higher than yours.
    So why am I still a pole dancer at the Ormstown hotel? No Polish guys ever visit!
    Just horny young farm boys, who I suspect, wish to spread their DNA in me! And, sorry- it ain't their saliva.
