I hate screaming mummies.

[DannyTN]

I was on a screaming woman flight once. If you think crying baby flights are bad, you have no idea.

Eventually an angel appeared and gave the woman a valium.

Why the expression? Simple. She was buried next to her son in law and spent the last few thousand years letting him know all the the reasons he’s not good enough for her daughter.

Poor woman. She was boxing a biological male.

[SunkenCiv]

lol. And both of them still vote in the US.

[SunkenCiv]

Hey, cut her some slack, maybe she was buried alive. ;^)

[SunkenCiv]

There’s nothin’ new under the hot Egyptian sun.

[SunkenCiv]

That should be enough to get her wrapped up in linen strips with a pomegranate stuffed in her big fat mouth.

[Az Joe]

I was on a screaming woman once

[SunkenCiv]

Her cause of death was, she got trampled during an after-Festival of Ptah sale.

[DannyTN]

"Hey, cut her some slack, maybe she was buried alive. ;^)"

[SunkenCiv]

There wouldn’t be much of a movie business if it weren’t for the horror genre.

I hate clowns. I dislike screaming mummies. :-)
