Life accomplishments

Made a candle from my ear wax
It allows me to see things more clearly

Made a pillow from my belly button lint
I can still hear it grumbling

Bought a nose hair trimmer
Don’t ask

Made a “you too” video

My pet slug ran away
It took him three weeks

Had the bird’s wings clipped
Now he sits there muttering WTF

The teacher said “take a seat”
I did…they made me bring it back

Taught a centipede to tap dance
Big mistake

Gave a mouse a cookie
See above

Let a sleeping dog lie
He ran for Congress

Hung a wet paint sign
On the Rose Bush

Buttered the bread on both sides                         
Just to be sure

Oh my gosh... from these hilarious quips I can see you're taking stock. Of what... I'm not sure. Fun stuff, John.
