● Does this weight-loss drug make my ass look like it used to be fat?

● My 10-year-old son thinks the term is ‘spoil-her alert.’ Prove he’s wrong.

● In an alternate universe, youre not proud to be an Okie from Muskogee, but since youre always high on marijuana and LSD, being an Okie from Muskogee doesnt bother you that much either.
