Tea for two… or three?

Lost his giddyup at the worst possible time.

Don’t worry about it. It happens to all guys sometimes. And there’s always Viagra.

What do you do after you did that?

The morning after the wedding. John wishes he had insisted on a prenup. Mary wonders what the life expectancy if for an infantry man, and Jenny is wondering when would be the appropriate time to asked for the final payment on the wedding decorations.

When Mrs Bennett moved in just after the wedding, Wickham knew he’d made a terrible mistake with his everlovin’ Lydia.

Did you ever like, really look at your hands… what was I saying?

he knew after just one show that paul revere and the maidens probably wasn’t going to pan out…

The instructions on the hat said not to inflate above 15lbs, but Serena pushed the limit by 5 more.

Serena, when he offered you a “ride”, he didn’t mean piggyback.

Heathcliff was so bored, even the Darcy girls couldn’t get his attention.

See today’s ‘Pearls before Swine’ for caption.

“Look, I’m not saying you have to … But give it some thought. Voting for Biden and Harris is better than the alternative…”
