JUST
KIDDING!
Over the years I've noticed that companies
are making their jar lids tighter and tighter.
I'm still waiting for Costco to open a 100 items or less
express checkout line.
Never ask Google for medical advice. In just three clicks I've
gone from a diagnosis of mild headache to clinically dead.
Maybe,
just maybe, if we tell some people the brain is an app, they'll
start using it.
When you clean out your vacuum cleaner, you become
a vacuum cleaner cleaner.
