I have been a gigantic Rolling Stones fan since approximately the Spanish-American War.
funny mom baby
If you were to open up a baby's head - and I am not for a moment suggesting that you should - you would find nothing but an enormous drool gland.
ideas brain graves
Meetings are places where dead ideas rise from their graves and eat the brains of the living.

Why do we shave? It doesn't seem like a natural activity. There are no examples of shaving in nature. The only creature that comes close is the male South Pacific Groping Beetle, which sometimes, just before mating, will slap on a little Aqua Velva. But we think this resulted from atomic testing.
