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.4 n8 }) Y% q0 b9 R. i

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.% a# l' j; L/ H
+ H- T; R/ ^1 Z8 ?
I'm an immigrant and I used to drive an old car with a lot of bumper stickers that are impossible to peel off. And one of them said, "if you don't speak English, go home!" I didn't notice it for two years.: e7 @* g* z% _' A( u8 w
% ~1 U4 f" i( p
I worked really hard to become a U.S. citizen and I have to take these American History lessons where they asked us questions like:
$ S& }3 K+ S5 G5 {
/ E; g# i/ i, A"Who's Benjamin Franklin?"
' I2 }$ a! |; Q; e% u( r! t# \: B" h
I was like; ahh... The reason our convenience stores get robbed?

And the second one was:* O5 Z# d2 _; o2 M. \

"What's the 2nd Amendment?"

"What is Roe vs. Wade?"

I was like ahh... Two ways of coming to the United States?

I have a family now, but I used to be scared of marriage. I was like wow... 50 percent of all marriages end up lasting on forever!! e6 t, C7 n3 P- V3 F7 W

8 \9 D% [5 T* a' Y- v. B3 L( r* d0 D7 qI just had my first child last year. I was really amazed at it. I was in the delivery room, holding up my son, thinking to myself, "Wow... He was just born... And he's already a U.S citizen."3 ~9 l3 y) G8 \* r
' [3 ^# y  {& t) [
So I said to him, "DO you even know who is Benjamin Franklin?"' G$ T8 x/ X# ~6 h1 o

# P/ L! P2 ~: [3 l% ANow I have a sign in my car that says ”Baby On board.”
# G4 ^: P( B2 C" @$ m4 J* n! v# b! |" N- A, ]" D
This sign is basically a threat. It just says that I have a screaming baby and a nagging wife and that I am not afraid of dying anymore.

"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".

The denotation of wade was used, the definition meaning "to walk in water".

我觉得JOE的意思可能是不离婚的比例这么高,(因为他害怕婚姻)可能他离不了婚吧。

同意朝阳的意见。原来没有认真看,觉着就是离婚率太高了。但是这样就没有什么幽默了,好玩的对方可能是为了迎合一些不爱结婚的美国人。从一而终对一些年轻人是来讲,不一定是梦想,却有可能是噩梦

表情僵硬。看第一遍没觉的,越看越觉的离专业演员差好大一截。
