Answer 6

You should always be very selective about who you share your balls with. You don't want to go sharing or letting just anyone taste your balls. I mean some people would be quick to try to steal and market your balls, and you just wouldn't want that! On the other hand, I love Bourbon and Rum Balls and I would love to taste yours, because I'm sure it would be heavy on the Rum. Mmm rum.
