Isn’t she a little bit too fat to be the governor?

New Jersey, Arkansas has or had fat governors. I’m sure others do as well.

All joking aside, I heard the damage was pretty bad. A lady at the doctor’s office today said they got hit with an EF-4 tornado. Is that correct?

Not funny for the people involved. I know we both sympathize.

However, I remember a comedian had a routine with:
They always report in the tornado damage stories that the worst hit were the trailer parks. My idea is to build a set of phony front walls looking like trailers on a hill to attract the tornado to hit them.
