How do you even make a bingo alliance?? Bingo requires no skills. Just dumb luck… If theres even such thing as luck.

Ducks get high blood pressure? Maybe that explains why Daffy and Donald were so cranky.

If a man is walking alone in the forest and there is no Woman to hear him, is he still wrong?".Shady Lady, referencing her vast knowledge of men walking alone in the forest responds….Why is he walking alone in the forest? What is he doing that he doesn’t want any woman to hear? He MUST have done SOMETHING wrong!.Feminine philosophical logic?.;o) ;o) ;o)

The English word for “basket” is “scrotum.’ It derives from the Mayan word “scrotumball,”which was a ping-pong game that was played with avocados by limping rejected sacrificial virgins while balancing baskets of Fritos.
A typical usage example can be found in Shakespeare’s The Shrew Stops at Coliseum Street when Cleopatra tells Sylvia, her handsome boy-slave (admirably portrayed by a nubile Ronald Reagan,) “Go get me a scrotum of avocados, three, if you can find them.”
Interestingly, some leading hors d’oeuvresoligists suspect this Mayan pastime also may be the origin of guacamole, an idea that those holding to the Siberian Onion Theory strongly oppose. As do the Worcestershires, who insist on bovine gastronomy – a smelly idea at best.
Dippy Harriett Scrotum says “Hi! – and Col Pisswood, I might add that you are quite confused. Again. Do you know what day this is? This is NOT yesterday!!! Some f§♠☭ing legend, indeed. Teach ya to call me Harry.”
