More Strange But True
The average person laughs 13 times a day
I laugh a lot more often than that
In fact I probably hold the world record
Maybe three or four times that in fact
A katydid hears through holes in its hind legs
You really must be trying to jazz me
What kind of dribble is that, you silly billy
A few bricks short of a load, I see
In Tokyo, apparently they sell toupees for dogs
Wonder if lady dogs wear padded bras
Didn't know doggies had an image problem
If you've seen one you've seen 'em all
There are more plastic flamingos in the United States
Than real ones, surely you jest
If you'd said more plastic people existed than real
Without doubt, I surely would've guessed
We North Americans average 600 sodas a year
With an average of 4 burps per can
That sure seems like a lot of foul smelling air
About 2,400 burps in a one year span
Collectively we eat 100 pounds of chocolate a second
That is surely like paradise divine
In 32 years, there are about one billion seconds
No wonder I'm so damn tired all the time
A company in Taiwan makes dinnerware out of wheat
So we can eat our plates when we're done
Charles Osborne had hiccups for more than 69 years
I'd go loopy, I'd just about come undone
A cockroach can live weeks with its head cut off
It dies from starvation, big surprise
10,000 birds die each year smashing into windows
Seems they have pretty poor eyes
