Who was the woman with the giant pretzel on her head?

It's pronounced "coke". As in, "Scott Walker has a nasty Koch habit."

Hah! Skiers, have you ever read the 4-point font on the back of your lift ticket?

Wasn't there a judge somewhere who got fed up with this crap, and forced the attorneys take coupons in payment?

You gotta consider that Clay Aiken fans are not the brightest bulbs on the chandelier.

Yeah, kids, you should walk two miles through the snow to get to school, like I did. Now git off my lawn!

Scalia is well aware that the word "consumer" appears nowhere in the Constitution. And he told Clarence. That's two down, three to go.

I saw that!

That is great, because soon, I wager, there are going to be other means of you agreeing to binding contracts.

Like, probably soon, just waltzing your physical ass into a place of business will signify a form of contractual agreement that also whisks away your evil job-killing so-called rights to actually litigate any disputes you might have with the corporation.

If you don't agree with the terms of our agreement, you are free to leave the premises!

And because we're such upstanding corporatizens, we won't even charge you for the air you consumed while you were here!

Dear Ali Rahimi, I read your excellent paper On the Effectiveness of Aluminium [SIC] Foil Helmets: An Empirical Study and I am most impressed. However I have a few questions and quibbles. First of all, you did not specify on the quality of the foil. I have found from personal experience that the thicker foil will attenuate the frequencies favored by aliens in the second quadrant. FYI, the foil from used Chipotle burritos makes an excellent shield for those on a budget but the delicious orders can be distracting and sometimes attracts dogs. But I digress. Also, you have no mention of the grounding of the tested foil hats. I’m sure your results will be dramatically different with a quality low impedance earth ground. I look forward to your new results when you correct this unfortunate oversight. Again, speaking from experience, I would recommend grounding with 8 to 10 AWG cable that is no longer than 256.3 meters. Any longer than that and you might as well not be grounded. Do I smell an Ig-Nobel for you and your partner’s future? Maybe it’s the burritos. Either way, well done! Sincerely, (redacted) BSEE, ASS, @#%&(@!

Not only that, but McFisty's mom made him wear a replica wedding gown as well. Plus she made him parade around the living room and curtsy. His inner manhood is getting back at mommy by coming hear and doing the down fist.

You see, especially when he was younger, I thought he definitely had some Windsor in him. He just has a lot of Spencer in him, and they have a lot of gingers.

The "Greek" royal family are about as Greek as plaster copy of the Elgin marbles. They're Kraut-Danish that got parachuted in.
