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.

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".
3 n- _( }" F& I% t8 x. F+ ~5 T: x9 H
Roe is used as a play on words to describe "row", as in using a boat to "row" to the US.
