I'm not racist, but I do believe nearly all RAM truck owners are unpleasant people to be on the road with.

Sure, you had a nice Sunday, but did you spend it breaking a world record with @govpritzker.illinois.gov pouring shots of Malört at the bar before toasting with all of us?

My wife just asked me if I think there will be a line for the cheese fortune teller at our local library's birthday bash. Weird thing is, I don't know if there will be.

The Government learned that they have criminals in the ranks and instead of removing the criminals they remove the photos of the criminals to make them harder to identify. Jokes on them, I see all of them as criminals.
