NEW
MEMBERS
We are pleased to introduce our newest members
Stephen
Flynn and Richard
Kilbride
Welcome,
Stephen and Richard!
JUST
KIDDING!
An
odd assortment of laughs!
If you
can't look back at your younger self and realize you were an
idiot then, you probably are still an idiot now.
If money is considered the root of all evil, why
do they collect it in church?
Marriage is a relationship where one person is
always right... and the other is the husband.
As
I got older I thought I was starting to get lazy. Turns out
I was just being more energy efficient.
The most terrifying moment in life is when you are
at someone else's house and the toilet refuses to flush.
