“...And why do you drive on a parkway and park in a driveway?...”

Yeah... and think about this -

Asteroids - come into the Hemisphere... But Hemorroids are on yer a**... So........why aren’t hemorroids called Assteroids, and Asteroids called Hemorroids?

And - if olive oil comes from crushing olives...where the hell does BABY OIL come from???

The mind boggles...

Reminds me of the old joke...two hunters in the woods, stumble upon a Grizzly and her cubs...first hunter’s gun misfires, he takes off running...

Second hunter stops, puts on running shoes...

“Ya think that’s gonna make you outrun the bear?” The first hunter asks...

Second hunter answers - “Nah...don’t have to outrun the bear...just gots ta outrun YOU!!”

Hahaha!!!

Nice joke!!!

Would it be true though? Would the mama bear only attack the first target or would it continue after the second?

She would... if the one hunter had ensured his own survival by rubbing bacon grease all over the other guy’s stuff ahead of time...

Like Bugs Bunny said...”Uh oh...Think fast, Rabbit...”

You know in Mauritania which is both Black and Arab, being obese is a sign of prosperity and fat chicks are desirable mates, stretch marks=hot. So some young girls are force fed huge amounts of milk and other stuff to make them huge and disgusting and if they vomit they’re made to eat the puke. It’s one of the worst things I’ve ever heard of.

I still don’t like the implied threat of force coming from the government

I just have one minor word change that I'd make to your statement here, but it makes all the difference in the world.

Gov't policy isn't implemented with an "implied" threat of force, it's more of an "inherent" threat of force.

Followed by “Smoke DIS, mon!”
