I'm not kidding!

Cleanup

I never forget a face. If I absolutely have to ice somebody, I always remember to take it with me.

Forensics

Judging from the traces they leave, people seem to be at their worst in public restrooms.

Mission accomplished

By my count, by pursuing an ill-considered and illegal preemptive war, President Bush and his accomplice Congress have now murdered more Americans than the 9/11 terrorists did, not to mention the untold Iraqi civilian casualties. Congratulations, traitors, and God help us all.

Bushes

Never trust a librarian who marries a man who doesn't read.

John the Baptist

Living on nothing but locusts and honey doesn't impress me. Try Sterno and cardboard sometime, chump!

Slipstream

It sounds less like a genre of fiction and more like what happens when you fart and get more than you bargained for.

Jesus saves

But even He's gonna weep fat baby tears if He doesn't also remember to back up.

Insomnia

I have trouble sleeping while there are children starving in my city. Why can't they be quieter about it?

Box office

Yes, I chose Bush over Gore, but I thought the question was late-night cable.

Illiteracy campaign

Teach a child to read and that's just more royalties for Dr. Phil.

How I learned to stop worrying and love the bomb

I bought one.

Refreshing

When life gives you lemons, extract the citric acid and spray it in life's eyes.

Motion

It's not the size of the boat—it's the whammo of the ammo.

Gee, Rocky

Squirrels rule the early morning streets. I have to pay a tribute of Cheetos just to retrieve my paper from the stoop unmolested. Damn those orange-pawed monsters!

Jammed keys

I have an intimate relationship with my typewriter. That makes it difficult to keep the roller clean.

October 15, 2007

To do

My life pretty much depends on making a to-do list, but I kept forgetting to put it on my to-do list.

October 14, 2007

Eat nothing but potato chips and still lose weight!

I call it the Horse Latitudes Diet. It worked for me. Just limit yourself to two per day.

October 13, 2007

Scars

It's no accident my voice sounds like this. It's takes a special kind of man to get a brand on his vocal cords.

Horizons

I hate flying. I have ever since my father threatened to let go of the kite string.

Piping hot

Children are terrific. Especially with a nice pomegranate glaze.
