“You know what I like most about Vandergrift? The dog fights. They don’t even breed the dogs for fighting, they got strays that just show up and tear at each other.

Holla for Thai Airways! They are awesome!

And, who was going to bring those jobs back?

Agreed. This issue is a dog.

When did Gilbert Gottfried grow the mullet?

Kinda like my old man, who had 10 years under his belt in the Army by ‘66. Did not re-up, especially because of all of that...jungle training...he had, even though he was stuck in Fort Riley, Kansas.

No, it’s not!

WELL, DUH.
