For the last time:
Abyss = for staring into
Void = for screaming into
Please stop screaming into the abyss; we are not insured for that

When allied countries fought Saddam Hussein, our "peace deal" involved his body dangling from the end of a rope, and the Iraqi people gaining the right to elect their own representatives democratically.

Under Trump, the Iran "peace deal" involves giving 300 billion dollars to the evil regime while it continues to kill its own people.

Trump said the war would end with "total surrender". He just forgot to mention the US would do the surrendering.

POV: You started a towel war with the cleaner at your hotel

"There was a friendly cat" is an entirely legitimate reason for being late to something.

Why are you taking so long in the shower

Me:

One year Earl and Edna went to the county fair and Edna said ,”Earl, I’m 85 years old and if I don’t ride that helicopter I might never get another chance.”

To this, Earl replied, “Edna, that helicopter ride is fifty bucks, and fifty bucks is fifty bucks.”

The pilot overheard the couple and said, “Folks, I’ll make you a deal. I’ll take the both of you for a ride. If you can stay quiet for the entire ride and not say a word, I won’t charge you a penny! But if you say one word, it’s $50.”

Earl and Edna agreed and up they went.

The pilot did all kinds of fancy maneuvers but not a word was heard. He did his daredevil tricks over and over again but still not a word.

When they landed the pilot turned to Edna and said, “By golly, I did everything I could to get you to yell out, but you didn’t. I’m impressed.”

Edna replied, “Well, to tell you the truth, I almost said something when Earl fell out, but you know…fifty bucks is fifty bucks.”
