If you lived in Illinois, you wouldn’t have any problem believing that. We have the dumbest, most corrupt regime of any state in the union!

I’ll give you “dumbest,” but the most corrupt by far is right here in Utah.

Just put in front of your building as an address and see if they get it. That is one very large bat and a very long mustache.

Does your beard hang low? Does it wobble to and fro? Can you tie it in a knot, can you tie it in a bow?

They could provide them a home so they could have an address, but then they would have to evict them because they are no longer homeless.

Our friend Ram could tie the two ends together and jump rope anytime he wanted! Awesome!
