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.

I'm not good at sports, but I love parallel parking... because unlike sports, when you are parallel parking, the worse you are, the more people that are rooting for you.

: [4 J' h' @ s3 _& N8 L"Roe vs. Wade" is a famous court case that you'll learn about in history class that deals with abortion.

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".% @" J6 v/ V/ o s- L o
/ p1 M/ ~. ]8 P; x) G
Roe is used as a play on words to describe "row", as in using a boat to "row" to the US.8 J9 \+ `2 e, p: p7 X
( M' G0 [9 ^3 V. `1 R, }7 n3 rThe denotation of wade was used, the definition meaning "to walk in water". |
