EXTRACT: And that's when somethin funny happens to me - I start havin really really bad thoughts about her - her skinny legs, her bony chest, all that black shit around her eyes. So I barge in ready to - I don't know what - ready to do somethin to her - but, fuck me - there she is sittin on the dunny with a stick in her arm, eyes rollin back in her head. Jesus I panicked. Never seen that sort of shit before. Got on the phone to Mr Andrews, one of the footy guys, and he's like, 'Get her out of there! Put her back where you found her!'
