The sky is falling!
bushes fault,
We're all gonna die! Aieeeeeeeeeee!
just die? how boring,
Yeah, but someone's gotta do it.
How much you wanna bet that more people die from hoof n mouth disease than blue nile virus?
"Hoof-and-mouth disease, also known as foot-and-mouth disease, is a viral infection--similar to a very bad cold--that for all intents and purposes affects only animals. One British man contracted a mild version of the ruminant illness in April to nationwide consternation. A freak accident had caused infectious fluid from a decaying animal to be propelled directly into his mouth. People do not get sick by eating meat from infected animals. But the animals themselves can catch the disease from uncooked meat harboring the disease."
more people die from hillarys bad breath than anything else,
"A freak accident had caused infectious fluid from a decaying animal to be propelled directly into his mouth."
Yech! That's got to be one unlucky dude.
Cheers!
What a horrible way to go. I'd rather die from being drawn and quartered than die from Hillary breath. Just the thought of being that close to the witch makes me sick.
There you have it.
