Gary's Body

Danielle - Oh my gosh Suzanna, Gary has the hottest body. We were all swimming at the pool the other day and he took his shirt off. You would never guess just by looking at him that he had that kind of body.

Suzanna - Really, It was nice? What was it like?

Danielle - Well he was tan, and he was totally ripped.

Suzanna - Really? Did he have a 6-pack?

Danielle - Oh ya, for sure. It might have even been an 8 pack.
