“This Drink And Wet Doll Is A Physically Correct Male”. What... Why... I Don’t Understand
"drink& wet " refers to the doll's ability to drink and pee. Basically it's either a tube from it's mouth to it's weenie (since the "physically correct male" description), either a mini-pump mechanism inside the doll that stores the liquid that enters through the mouth and pumps it through the weenie (isn't this a fun word) from time to time. One question though. WHO IN THE NAME OF GOD LOOKED AT THIS SERIES AND SAID "you know what would be fun? if everyone had the grandson of Bunker" ?!?!
