    If she didn’t know she was pregnant, how did they know the baby was 11 weeks premature?

    Ben also was our first postmaster general that became our postal system and he devised the lending library system. A mixed blessing. The postal system has continued to evolve, but with difficulty. The library system fostered learning for some of our greatest leaders in all fields.

    Did the lady get charged an extra half fare?

    T-Rexes had millions of years before man arrived. They were done in by a natural disaster. Even if we are given the amount of time, will we suffer a similar fate? Some say we are closer than we think.

    Meanwhile it costs 2¢ to mint a penny and more than 7¢ to mint a 5¢ piece for a total loss of more than $100 million a year in seigniorage alone.

    It sounds like T-Rex doesn’t like to ask for directions either.

    Speaking of Benjamin Franklin, it may not be politically correct to say this, but he was a great American President.

    And they got it on and banged a gong.

    Take care, may famed record producer Floyd $hord be with you, and gesundheit.

    So… there was T-Rex overpopulation. I’m sure birth control was difficult to acquire, back in that era.

    I once took a really big leak, when, I didn’t even know that I needed to go! That’s the same thing as Lavinia Mounga, right?

    2 believes – 1 not (prove it – guesses can be wrong as much as they can be right that ‘s why they’re called guesses)the poor lady was trying to figure out how she was going to get into her bikini since she was gaining a little weightand that’s why the government leaders want to print more money, because it’s so cheap to make t-rexes do not make good volleyball players so they were phased out of existence before the census so numbers had to be guessed

    When I saw that 2.5 billion T-Rexes, I thought it was custom made for Jason; what a perfect set-up.

    Why am I underwhelmed that 2.5 Billion T-Rexes lived over several million years?

    Luckily she was not on an international flight or she would have an “issue” with immigration authorities.

    My story today is about a gentleman getting his very first prostate exam! When he returns home, the wife asked how it went! He said “It was awful!” “The Doctor told me to drop my pants and shorts and bend over from the waist.” “Then he put his left hand on my shoulder and…..no wait…he put his right hand on my shoulder and then…..wait a minute…..that SOB had both hands on my shoulders!” I’m gonna sail off into the sunset now! See ya next week on a brand new show! ;o)

    How does a woman not know she’s pregnant? Isn’t there something not happening each month?

    I wish they would mass produce a bunch of $2 bills into our economy. It’d make things a lot easier. I think it’d also increase the amount of tips service people receive.

    The woman, winner of the competition at the past ‘Oktoberfest’, was on her way to compete at Honolulu’s beer festival.

    DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME! HP printer ink is triple the cost.

    Birth control was impossible with those little arms.

    I’ve never understood how a woman can not know she’s pregnant. This is not the first time that I’ve heard this. I would think that not having a period for five or so months would give her a clue.

    lets pretend it was 1 million years (it wasn’t but hey).. that’d be 2,500 T-rex born annually on a landmass equal to all our current continents. These things must have been quite rare.

    I was going to say 800 born a year and I guess I just did.
