Mira más arriba un ejemplo de Alfonso en el que dos tíos hablan de una chica (conversación típica macho man).La idea era completar la última frase en la que uno de ellos decía:
-Que sí, tío, que me la he...
Any ideas?

Don't be afraid of the second one. It's a Greek sculpture of flesh and bones.

A related riddle for Alfonso. Do you know the meaning of the expression "kiss and tell"?

I don't know... Pls. tell me... Maybe, it's something like disparar antes de preguntar... Or something like doing something and going quickly gossipping about it.

You're on the right track. I suppose when you say doing something, you are thinking about a specific kind of "something"...The guy in your example kissed and told when he said "Que sí, tío, que me la he... comido " (Sorry, Rusty, just leg-pulling, I'm not picking on you...)
So do you usually kiss and tell?

Of course, I'm Monica Lewinsky's brother. If not, what function does to kiss have?

Wrong answer, mate. You're just another macho man. You kiss just for the sake of it, of course...

Nah, I know lots of expressions I would never need to use in real life.
