Hi everybody. So... I'm Irish. I read a report recently that a man reaches his sexual peak at age 18 but I didn't know this... until I was twenty five. So the world will never know what a stud I was. No one took a bite out of this peach when it was ripe.7 B9 `' u/ {9 m$ S& s q

This sign is basically a threat. It just says that I have a screaming baby and a nagging wife and that I am not afraid of dying anymore.

"Roe vs. Wade" is a famous court case that you'll learn about in history class that deals with abortion.- O8 Z2 M+ u: p- O' b! ]4 T4 u

Joe Wong used this case in a form of a question: What is Roe vs. Wade? To which he cleverly delivered the punchline "Two ways of coming to the United States".& A7 Q0 c3 m, r4 K3 E8 \# N* q

Roe is used as a play on words to describe "row", as in using a boat to "row" to the US.

The denotation of wade was used, the definition meaning "to walk in water". |
