Title: HEARD A RUMOUR: Kevin Levrone is very sick and in hospital
Post by: Er[e]bus on April 03, 2009, 05:47:01 AM: Hey,

A guy I know of is employed in a hospital and said he's seen Kevin Levrone (not close) but the name as well.
Said he is not well and has bad chest pain and or very high blood pressure.

Could be a rumour only but maybe not.

Relax, if i would crack up over every internet rumor i would have cancer and a heartattack eod.

And even IF Levrone was in a hospital, it could be an allergic reaction or whatever.

Post by: TacoBell on April 03, 2009, 09:11:51 AM: Bill's wife Jill is in a coma.
One day, while the nurse was giving Jill a spongebath, she notices that Jills toes wiggle when she washes her vaginal area.
The nurse tells Bill this, and suggests that perhaps some oral sex may help his wife wake up.
Reluctant at first, Bill agrees and goes into the room and shuts the door behind him.
Several minutes later the code blue alarm goes off and the nurse comes running in the room.
What happened she asked.
I dont know said Bill, she must have choked.
