@NeedaChuckle .“Whiittenschlagger came into work and said he father had gotten family name changed. … VON Wittenschalgger”.Did he actually change the location of the “l” or just add the “von”?.(I used to know a Von, worked at Hardees.)

What’s funny is Rick says, “I think Joanie is having HER baby.” I have suggestion for a name, how about, shut up you useless bag of dirt. Can be rather catchy. LOL.
