[ 40 ][ Another Wet & Whacky French Fry … 1•12•2021 ]
Humpty Dumpty Was A Fascist Female Impersonator
That Is Actually Allergic To Eggs.
So Whenever He Was Anywhere Near Himself He Broke Out In Bees.
The Cow Did Not Really Jump Over The Moon. She Was Very Phobic About Cheese So Any Pictures Were taken On A Stage In A Row Boat Somewhere In Georgia.
Trump Really Did Win The Georgia Election. He Was Voted Head Class Cheerleader While Going To High School In Georgia … Russia.
The Old Lady That Lived In A Shoe Spent Most Of Her Time Wearing Heels On The Beaches In Idaho.
The Original Use For The Ladder Was To Make Prank Phone Calls To Domino’s Ice Cream Parlor To Deliver Eyeglasses.
KFC Really Was The First Name For Kome For Care.
Feet Are Like Ears Because. Hansel & Gretel Were Relatives Of The Good Witch Of The North That Lives By Jack & Jill.
Mike Was Really Cold. When The Clock Strikes 12 It Is Arrested For Shoplifting Panty Hose From The 7-24 That Only Stays Open From 0857hrs Until
The Lightning Bowls.
Bowling Balls Were Originally Used For Paper Waits But It Rained Too Much.
Face Masks Were Originally Used As Veils In Weddings In The 1920’s Because It Helped Guys That Had Runny Noses.
When A Nose Itches It Is Because It Did Yesterday When Someone Ate Grapes. Shopping Is Hard To Do While Wearing Flippers.
But Seals Are Able To Because They Are Used To It.
Card Sharks Cheat While Surfing Jumps In The Forest. This Forest Has No Gump In It.
His & Her Shoes Sometimes Comes With No Jello
On The Bottom Of The Diaper.
Change Is Ticklish.
But Never Whisper In A Strong Wind Because All You Would Here Is Fuzz.
Christmas Trees Were Once Used For Toothpicks For
Giant Worms.
Sometimes Skunks Lose Their Stripe In The
Summer Rain. That Is When They Smell The Best.
Sometimes I Confuse Myself When My Big Toe Laughs.
Black & White Paint Mixed Together Sounds High.
I Would Not Advise Someone To Get A Dollar Out Of Its Bark.
So Laugh Until The Cat Rides In.
