Esta es una buena manera de terminar la cita muy pronto si no te gusta la otra persona.

This is a good way to end the date very quickly if you don't like the other person.

As a man I'm embarrassed that whenever we drink a little beer the next thing we want to see is a girl in a wet t-shirt.

Como un hombre me da vergüenza que cada vez que tomamos unas cervezas la próxima cosa que deseamos ver es una chica en una camiseta mojada.

Hmm, la mayoría de la gente usan una espoleta de pollo para pedir un deseo.

Hmmm, most people use a wishbone to make a wish.
