Isn’t the tag supposed to go around the guy’s toe?

+1 Staph Sergeant

Just an Indian burn.

They never should have covered him with a government-issued blanket.

Surprised Washington is asking for privacy and not selling the naming rights to the infection to make Snyder some more dough.

Nurse: Oh my God! Come look at this Red skin!

If I have been watching TV at your house, chances are that I grabbed the remote and turned this feature off when you weren’t looking.

Almonds are fine, and perhaps the most versatile nut, but the cashew is the best nut and I will accept no arguments in opposition (except maybe the macadamia nut, but they’re so goddamn expensive and hard to crack that I only have them a couple times a year).

Reins, not reigns! This will help you all remember: rein=horses, reign=ruler, uncomfortable Venn diagram intersection=Catherine the Great.

Jim Harbaugh is taking it very hard, as would anyone who just lost their daddy. 

He actually resigned several weeks ago, but he didn’t think he had to report it to the school.
