Hey, these are all good! Can’t pick just one.(Well, ok, the self-tipping cow eating the spontaneous combusto-pepper while sitting in the biggest wheel of cheese riding on the Big Letdown is the best.)

Richard has been to the very best county fairs in the metropolitan D.C. area! Our local fairs seem so dull by comparison!

I refused to join the Fratricidal Order of Misanthropes, so they elected me Grand Grumpus (in absentia, of course).
My first order of office was to dissolve the organization forever.
