Quotes by David Thorne

“While I do not have a boyfriend, I do have a friend who is homosexual and I once asked him "Do you ever think about having sex with me because you are gay?" to which he replied "Do you ever think about having sex with Rosie O'Donnell because you are straight? Same thing.”
― David Thorne, The Internet is a Playground: Irreverent Correspondences of an Evil Online Genius
