I don't want to rain on your parade but let's go thru this one by one shall we?

1. Laughter is a wonderful medicine...We need to do it more....yep.
2. How do I arrange a pound of grasshoppers in my taco? And, how many will they feed?
3. In my last line of work there were countless females I could smell much more than a 100 yards away..whew!
4. What level should the rubberbands be refrigerated at? Top shelf? vegetable drawer? butter compartment? We don't want them going bad now do we?
5. They like Godzilla....nuff said.
6. Figures the army would turn a G word into a J word!
7. Got nothing...That's a good one.
8. Or one helluva bad marriage! (drumroll)
9. And the US elections are a mere % of them...LOL

Just playin...
