his time to go Ricocheted off a tree? Was it an ironwood tree?

penis pump He exposed himself under his robe? I don't understand, isn't a robe clothing?

year-end bonuses Of course! This follows the same logic that says that national debt is a good thing!

his time to go Ute got to be kidding me. The bullet ricocheted off a tree but went through the roof of the ute.

penis pump Sounds like he was just banging his gavel.

stone-the-rape-victim That's better than the law in the bible. God's law says the victim must marry the rapist. Deuteronomy 22:28-29

Bush Sewage Plant Wait, isn't that the name of the White House during the past 8 years?

Year-end bonuses? Of course, just think of all the work they had to do in order to get gov't bailout packages and organize layoffs and benefit cuts. These poor execs have taken so much flak in the news; only a few mil could offset that. Just think, they might have to settle for a smaller yacht for Christmas.

Madd Maxx, you shouldn't be so judgmental; you're courting disaster. I may have to bail-iff we keep making puns.
