asked how the trout fishing was in Cuba. The woman at the

store said, "You're better off dead, you Commie bastard. "

I got a receipt for the candy bar to be used for income tax

purposes.

...riday, in November, about two o'clock,
And proceeded well on her way until she received a shock;
And the effects of the collision were so serious within,
That, within twenty minutes afterwards, with water she was full to the brim. 

The effects of the collision were so serious the water cduldn't be staunched,

While the brave crew were busy, and loudly did clatter,
Because, at this time, the stem of the steamer was und...Read more of this...
