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.

"Roe vs. Wade" is a famous court case that you'll learn about in history class that deals with abortion.
8 K/ V. m1 ]- a, {. Q- f6 \7 Q/ G8 x- I& n3 |/ q
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".& v9 A5 S0 Z2 \8 E% ^- v
# _! Y& I! J e6 m2 f
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". |
