Who was so excessively thin
That when she assayed
To drink lemonade
She slipped through the straw and fell in.

That one is from childhood.

Who liked to bang girls in their teens
He'd say to them, "Honey,
I'll give you some money
If you'll just let me take off your jeans"

(btw, this perv went on to become the 45th POTUS)

Who kept a dead whore in his cave.
He said "What the hell--
"I don't mind the smell,
"And think of the money I save."

It's not quite a limerick, but it's close, and it's the only thing he ever sent me to use in such a situation:

Jack and Jill went up the hill
To do some things they shouldn't
But when they got
To the perfect spot
They forgot the Viagra and couldn't

My son loves Stan Lee, he's 8 and knows who Stan Lee is from his marvel movie cameos and his appearances in Lego games, plus he knows that Mr Lee helped bring to life most of the Marvel world he enjoys today! So sad that Stan's not able to make the rounds at conventions now, we missed him when he came to Nashville a couple years ago.

He's nowhere as mobile as he used to be. The pacemaker didn't really bother him, but he was also thrown for quite a loop when he lost his wife a short while back. They had been together for more decades than I can imagine. I haven't spoken to him since, and heard he was pretty down about it.

If you get a chance to speak to him, just let him know there's a little boy out there that loves him and his work and he idolizes him...EXCELSIOR!

Not that Stan cared about the rules all that much.

Stan will be 96 this year on December 22.

He reached into his desk, pulled out a piece of cardboard with a certain logo you might recognize, and wrote this on it:
[URL=.html][IMG][/IMG][/URL]

I sent the original to Skinner. If he does NOT still have it, he is in for fifty years of bad karma!

His balls were made of brass
When he clanged them together
They played Stormy Weather
And sparks flew out of his ass.

Said the two to the tutor
"Is it harder to toot?
Or to tutor two tooters to toot?"

There once was a man named Tom
He wrote number one songs
Who danced with Mary Jane
And had a long blond mane
My guitar weeps that he's gone

And all the young men threw their sex at her,
Just to be rude,
She lay in the nude,
While her parrot, a pervert, took pecks at her.

Placed fiddle strings 'cross her vagina
With proper-sized cocks
What was sex became Bach's
Toccata and Fugue in D Minor

If I were a louse in your shag,

my soul would ease and expand.

Gently would I nibble and nip,

Sweetly would I tipple and sip,

My *soul* would ease and expand!

If I were a louse in your shag!1

Called a hen "a most elegant creature."
The hen, pleased at that,
Laid an egg in his hat,
And thus did the hen reward beecher.

There was a young fellow named Herkin
Who was always jerkin his gherkin.
His mother said, "Herkin!
"Stop jerkin your gherkin!
"Your gherkin's for firkin, Herkin."

There was an old whore from Peru
Who filled her vagina with glue.
She said, with a grin,
"If they pay to get in,
"They'll pay to get out again, too."
