Holac Posted August 18, 2014 Tillamook, you have a great sense of humor saxiib. This is the best topic for those who appreciate wit at its best. I know my friend Safferz would have appreciated this if she wasn't sunbathing somewhere in Aruba. I was screaming so hard, my brother thought I was crazy. Coolidge, Churchill, Lincoln and Dorothy Parker (the last one on the list) are just hilarious. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
