I thought he was cool when I was 8 and my dad played me the Live at San Quentin LP.

I don’t enjoy it but he likes it (sound familiar, girls?).

Just told a flag shagging dog owner that I might have Covid and he nearly shat himself and legged it. If only all flag shaggers had COPD we could intimidate them into silence.

in 2011, the president of antifa hired me to give fashion consultancy to the organization. i recommended everyone wear navy suits with tan shoes, dress sneakers, and golf polos with slim chinos. if you arrested everyone today wearing these things, you'd destroy antifa

My sister just phoned me from work. She couldn’t wait to tell me she’d seen a man in a white T-shirt he’d put a Red Cross on in marker pen.
