"Election Edition"  posted 1 Nov 2020
politicians: like diapers, need frequent changing (for the same reason) debates are like steer horns a couple points with lots of bull in between politics: 'poly' (many) plus 'ticks' (bloodsucking parasites) - makes sense! when your crops are disappearing vote for the lesser of two weevils politician: either running for office or running for cover is your refrigerator running? if so, I may just vote for it

the day after tomorrow is the third day of the rest of your life I've never owned a telescope it's something I'd like to look into work overtime in a distillery and they'll pay you time and a fifth isn't it a bit unnerving that doctors call what they do "practice"? parakeet: a keet that takes care of you until the real keet arrives if a child swears in sign language does his mother wash his hands with soap?

if a tomato's a fruit then technically ketchup is a smoothie random question what happens if a person is scared half to death twice? i wouldn't make a journey to Mars if it were the last place on earth it's rare now, but in medieval times people were named Lance a lot to make a long story short you should try telling it to small children TSA took away my bengay they accused me of packing heat
[Humor attributions: (4) - reddit.com (6) - Dave Weinbaum all others found online, attributions unknown] "Cheesy Humor" posted 30 Nov 2020
It's true the early bird gets the worm but the second mouse gets the cheese a church served swiss cheese with communion it was their holey sacrament american sandwiches that cost an arm and a leg: limb burgers I know the kind of cheese I stole the shop owner yelled "that's nacho cheese!" my cheese ran away from home to pursue grater opportunities when a cheese wedge gets its picture taken does it smile and say "people"?
