Liberals brains?

How many would have one, even a small one?

Here is a beach covered with them.

Unlikely to be brains from liberals.

Nancy Pelosi says it's due to Global Warming and it's Trump's fault. OK: Which creature is scarier? The blobs? Or Nancy Pelosi?

Too late to cast their votes. Someone gave them the wrong date, or maybe it is hard to tell night from day at the bottom of the ocean.

The ocean has a tendency to do that. Every once in a while it upchucks onto the beaches.

I have eaten cooked sea cucumbers at a trad Chinese restaurant. It’s the only Chinese dish I don’t like! Was like eating warm Vaseline!

I used to live near Midland, Michigan, where the Dow Corning plant was located which made all the breast implants.

I always wondered what it must be like to work there.

“Yeah, I pulled third-shift on the boob line. A conveyor jammed up on the D-cup line, and we had one helluva mess on our hands!”

If you are suggesting ‘that sort of republican’?

There was no mention of a terrible stench?

IMO, that bunch are simply interlopers, at best.
Now they are a bit more visible.

Then it must be true!

The Chinese eat anything with four legs except a table, and anything that flies that isn’t an airplane.

Having spent some time around Asia, I know it to be true!
