Hmm, maybe she knows, and the joke is on you.

Lutheran school I highly doubt it.
Okay... There's all kinds of things wrong with what you just said.

Because anyone who has been eating shit (like most Trump supporters?) are effing loony.

When did the expression "A Thing" become a thing?

It's just one of those things that happened when nobody was paying attention.

I think it's a thing but almost nothing.

I wonder if Mozart or Beethoven were ever accused of making unwanted overtures?

Mozart lost a job once when he said, 'Roll over Beethoven' to a young Ludwig.

I don't know econo, but Beethoven left his last movement on the piano bench.

I just realized my boss is just like my mom. If they’re right they will harp on it until you have no sympathy left for them. If they’re wrong just agree anyway it will save frustration in the long run.

Is it wrong to hope that the "My Pillow" guy is the one standing in the middle of 5th Avenue when Trump decides to test his shooting theory?

Oh that’s awful! But after just one day of forced FOX News viewing, I TOTALLY get it! (I’ll never get that fucking jingle out of my head!)

When Winston Churchill first displayed his iconic 'V for Victory' gesture, was that truly what he meant... ?
— or was he actually flipping off Hitler and the Nazis?

Or was he maybe just playing a game of Rochambeau?

Yes, I suppose I could agree with you ... but then we'd both be wrong, wouldn't we?

I'm confused by my toilet flushing mechanism - it's one of those flat, two-part button systems that's supposed to let you choose whether to use too much water or way too much water. The buttons are marked I and II - but I don't know which refers to what, or what to which.

Now, is Roman II supposed to be pushed when there's a #2 in the bowl?

Or is the Roman I to be pushed to clear everything out in 1 go?

I've tried pressing both at different times and I'm blessed if I can see or hear any difference between them in the amount of water used or the time/amount that refills the cistern. Indeed, they seem like Siamese twins - where one goes, so goes the other
