What is a simmons?
Brian Murray
Was thinking the same thing.
Someone must have big fingers and missed the U ????
Richard or Gene?
Michael Mchale the Richard Simmons punishment is for under 50 grams, and the Gene Simmons is for over 50. Seems fair
As punishment for dealing drugs, they were locked in a room and forced to watch hours of Richard Simmons workout tapes.
very loud…..
That’s called “The Saddam Treatment”.
Due to the backlash against bail reform sending drug dealers home, they now have to bunk with Richard Simmons until their court date and he breaks them in for what’s coming in the prison showers.
