But given she's 86 years old it may take her awhile....

I'm guessing it will come to her in the middle of the night and I'm gonna get a call...

For the last three years...patience is a job requirement... lol...

She has a "strong dislike" for the current White House squatter...

When the penny drops she's going to love it and then call her sister to share....

my father used to always call my mother a "limey" because you told her a joke on Saturday and she laughed at it on Wednesday. i never figured out how that made her a limey though, except that he was Scotch/Irish/Welsh and she was half English and half Swedish.

Thanks! Thanks for nothing!

I heard Trump was a germaphobe and would never have anyone pea on him. But that doesn't mean that he wouldn't like to watch two girls pee on each other.

I got the pun this time.

Chickpea is a curiosity of mine because there was a Ptolemy
called Chickpea. In ancient lore you were not supposed to eat
beans before worship. Chickpea Ptolemy must have been fat
and loved to eat beans. But, the reason for the forbidden
eating of beans was because you were forbidden to fart
during the ceremonies with the penalty being excommunication.

I can't imagine that Ptolemy Chickpea was fartful.
