They have laundry service at many hotels. It’s a prerequisite when on long service jobs.

Thank you! Rhymes are a good vehicle for in-your-face sentiments of any sort, I think-you can put them in a humorous or otherwise lighter context.

Santa does invigilate the youngsters so he can place them on the Naughty or Nice list. He has a gun........but not for the naughty children.......they might shoot their eye out...........it's been known to happen........poor Ralphie.

Our first dog was a shih tzu...one of those little dogs that have delicate stomachs. Very limited people foods or they puked all over the house.

I think we are seeing how freedom dies.

It doesn’t even take passing a bill, either.

Xshub ordered the handgun from cheaperthandirt. He emailed with them today asking if they were shipping orders and they assured him they were.

Was it really cheaper than just going to a local dealer? He’ll have to have it shipped to one anyway.

Idiot liberals may as well hire him (her?) to invigilate the schools instead of armed guards:
