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.' [1 [' Y- {6 N8 S# ^$ Q

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:

I 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."

"Roe vs. Wade" is a famous court case that you'll learn about in history class that deals with abortion.. }1 i: ]8 H U5 d

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".) A) O) M6 e/ I! y% S

Roe is used as a play on words to describe "row", as in using a boat to "row" to the US.4 M( R$ y2 _. c

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