There
once was a man from Gibraltar,
Who was so opposed to the concept of limericks as a whole that he
refused to take part in any of them.

If
you took all the moral fiber in a politician's body and strung it
out end to end, it would reach from one end of a football field
to an inch from that point.

The
phrase "politically correct" has been deemed offensive by certain
groups of people. It will therefore be changed to "socially ambiguous
and assumed with proper reinforcement to be reasonably justified
and universally non-offensive", or "SAAPRRJUNO" for short.

Ladies
and gentlemen, the sky has defiantly remained blue for too long.
Change is essential to the survival of mankind: let us rise up and
enforce a new color for the sky! Grab your torches and pitchforks
and meet by the old mill!

A
sneeze is a pretty violent bodily function. Who's to say that when
you sneeze you don't accidentally eject memories from your brain
directly to the air surrounding your head? Next time you sneeze,
try to remember this possibility and examine your thoughts. Just
hope the memory of this possibility is not the memory that gets
sneezed out.

Until
we can design a newer, fluffier, softer, more delicious brand of
muffin, the world will always seem empty to me.

Even
without the use of narcotics or anesthetic, individual words can
be quite funny if one's in the right mood. Words such as Detergent,
Phlegm, even Supplement. Who knows why certain words
can just be found funny for no reason, but I'm not complaining.

As
a firm advocate of anti-media propaganda, I insist that there be
no Newsreel for today. Unfortunately, I have just created a paradox,
and now the universe will collapse upon itself. Have a nice day.

The
semicolon (;) is a fantastic breakthrough in grammar technology.
It began when the comma (,) and the period (.) were driving to auction
one fateful November morning. After a terrible car crash the two
were on their death beds. With marvels of modern science the two
were combined to make an all powerful new punctuational superhero,
the semicolon!

If
somebody gives you the number of a great pizza delivery place and
the number begins with 911, don't call it!!!! You could be
in for a shock. Everybody knows a number beginning with 911 is Chinese
Takeout, so be warned. Don't look like a fool and call expecting
pizza.

Plug
the drain in a sink and turn it on full blast. How long might it
take for that tiny little sink to fill the entire house with water?
Such a question demands experimentation, but if you choose
to attempt this scenario please use a house that isn't yours.

If
you're in the process of doing something and somebody says "Not
so fast!" simply continue but at a slowed rate. This will prove
quite annoying while accomplishing nothing. It may even invoke a
violent response, but either way, it will make your friend think
twice about the common phrases he uses in the future.

I
ate at a Chinese restaurant today called the "Golden Panda." It
struck me that a real panda made of gold would not do too well out
in the wilderness. Think about it - furry pandas are slow as they
are, and one made of solid gold (weighing in at about 2.4 tons!)
would be quite cumbersome. Evolution would have weeded out that
feeble, albeit valuable, creature a long time ago. I left with a
great sorrow for the poor Golden Panda.

You
can tell a lot about a person by what's on their keychain. How many
keys they have. Whether they own a car. Um... What pointless knickknacks
they have on there... OK, fine! Maybe you can't tell a lot
about a person by their keychain, but you can figure out some things.
Some useless, boring things indeed.

I
had a dream the other night where I was a dead person. All dead
people walked around in a crew with other dead guys from house to
house scaring the living. We had a set of rules, too. Keep your
face covered and don't leave anything behind were the big ones.
At the end of the dream we got a job remodeling the set of "The
Tonight Show for the Dead."

They
say that "Three's Company", but in fact recent studies
have shown that many more people, sometimes hundreds, are required
to effectively run a company with any success at all. This new information
could change the face of business and cliché rhetoric forever!

Recent
events have brought to my attention something very puzzling - when
you get a Cringing Migraine,
do you cringe, or does your migraine cringe? And where
exactly is Reactor 12? Why does 2 exist? Questions
to ponder.

Have
you ever stopped to think if your fork wants you to plunge
it headfirst into your food? Please be courteous. The next time
you're eating, ask your fork if it's up to the experience. Forks
have feeling too, and deserve your respect and teamwork.

If
the Wicked Witch of the West visited the modern world, she would
be terrified - all the water flying around, right next to innocent
bystanders! Not just on the form of rain, either. How about people
watering their lawns? Sprinklers could be used as automated defense
turrets against that particular witch.

Who
coined the phrase "to coin a phrase?" Think about it. Are coins
involved at all? Inquiring minds want to know.

I
saw a program the other day about a guy who invented a "bear
proof suit." The suit made him look like a transformer, but
the most entertaining part was the suit testing. His assistants
would beat him senseless with baseball bats, hit him with cars,
etc. They even tried setting him on fire. Of course he was fine,
but where could a bear find access to fire, a car, and a
baseball bat?

The
medical community prefers that the public dismiss hiccups as mere
spasms in the diaphragm, nothing more. What they really are, however,
are the prisoners trying to ram the walls of the interior of your
body and break out. Yes, the United States Government has been shrinking
convicts and imprisoning them in innocent people for years.

Man
has always wanted to fly like the birds, but one thing and one
thing alone has stood in his way. He simply is afraid of heights.
Sure, with enough effort and arm-flapping a human can render himself
airborne, but the tremendous fear is enough to make people not even
ant to try. So why try? Go with the crowd, stay on the ground!
