As a man, I’m not going to get pregnant. So why should I have to pay for coverage that includes “maternity benefits?”

He told a joke at the beginning about pitching a fake movie to a producer at the Oscars about a super hero who got his strength from touching a woman’s vagina. But since the hero was not attractive he couldn’t convince women to let him touch them once, very gently so he had to resort to rape to get his strength to…

Yeah. It’s easy for us as younger people who maybe didn’t grow up with Bill Cosby to focus entirely on these awful things he’s done. And Dave is obviously acknowledging that, but I get how it could cause a little bit of existential pain for someone like him, the kind that might lead him to say some shit that while…

This wasn’t Andrew Dice Clay…

Smithers tells me there’s a pill for this problem when one has a paramour one wishes to lure.

One of those is true...

Well, you could try, but I don’t think the bird would be into it...

Anyone who claims that our “Animal Kingdom brethren”do not possess a sense of humor, must suffer from a severe case of “humor-impairment.”

Fair enough

Came for continuous fits of contagious bird laughter. Got 7 seconds of birds squawking. Now questioning my internet blog taste.

You could almost say it was Madness!

Indiana police have drawn a large circle around the scene of the accident, and have extended an open invitation to “bring your shooters and play for keeps”. They expect the mess to be cleaned up by this afternoon.
