The gigglemug she’s wearing
so vexes me, I want to
give her a knuckle sandwich
through her big white teeth

A-Never having to say you’re sorry
B-Leaving the toilet seat up
C-Tug-a-war
D-Going on a safari

Hate means

A-Holding up a knuckle sandwich
B-The final countdown
C-Stealing someone’s lunch money
D-Having a murderous twitch

Lukewarm is not

A-Half-hearted
B-An ice cold bath
C-Tepid
D-Life uncharted

A kiss is

A-A prelude to making love
B-A peck

D-All of the above

Cupid is

A-A cube
B-A straight arrow
C-As cupid does
D-Test tube

In Paradise by the Dashboard Light, why is the guy singing,
“Praying for the end of time?”

A-it’s where a light shines
B-Forever happiness
C-So I can end my time with you
D-Where there’s more fruit on the vines

You can't purchase liquor, son. You're underage.
   Pardon me, officer.  May I see your badge?

Button your lip, son.  Or you'll be resisting arrest.
   But I'm 21, officer.  Better check my ID, I'd suggest.

That's it for you, boy.  I'm taking you down to the station.
   I demand the right to a lawyer.  He'll charge discrimination.

Why, you scum: Here's a knuckle sandwich for you -- KAPOW!
   If I were white, you'd never try this -- no way, no how...


Premium Member Stephen

Alas,  me dove
the Arish roots I love
Hae dwindled to spindley cobwebs
hanging from me name even.
There’s no love sounded in Stephen.
So be dog wide when you say it laddie
or a knuckle sandwich is your due.
There now, I have said it, so I have
without the flags you lads wave.
Give me Steph or none atall.
With no fecking laugh when you call
or I’ll be shuttin’ your cake hole
‘tll youse know how to be behavin’.
So wind your neck in.

Fecking-mild oath like --darn

You feel threatened
Some call it paranoid
Unreasonable suspicion

Just because the guy driving beside you
Cut you off    then
Gave you the finger

No need for alarm

Just because your girl found a new boy friend    and
He’s 6’6
Weighs 230
Showed you the knuckle sandwich

No need for alarm

When the coach put that new kid in
Sat your ass on the bench

No sweat
Coach’ll see the light

You’re thinking
(bet the landlord changed the lock on my door)

Easy    stud    easy
You’re only four months behind in the rent

When your new used car gulped two pints of oil
On the way to the grocery store

It’s nothing    dude
Just needed an oil change
OLD oil

And when your mother 
Bless her heart
Cut you out of her will

Come on!
She’ll come around
Her new husband seems a reasonable guy

Right now
This mean looking   beat up    hungry looking stud’s
Holding a 38 against your head
“Gimmee yer money!”
He says

Friend    this aint paranoia
Do what he says
Or your dead
