Sad news.

I broke up with my girlfriend Lorraine because I was seeing another girl named Claire Lee.

But the good news is that I can see Claire Lee now that Lorraine is gone.

I interpreted it to mean that he's deliberately embarassing his daughter in the eyes of every person on the way to school, and then in front of the whole school.

Filip Larsen said:

He's not wearing socks in order to maximise the free distribution of his foot pong.
Filip Larsen said:
so why is she looking like that??
Because she's standing really close to his feet. :oldruck:

I saw a trailer on TV today for a Laurel & Hardy film to be shown next week. Apparently Laurel & Hardy are working as pest controllers.

Man
Why are you drilling holes in my floor?
Laurel
To let the mice in.
Man
Then why are you putting corks in the holes?
Laurel
To stop them getting out.

I still remember an old 3 Stooges gag where they wanted access to some event but couldn't get in unless they had press passes. So they went into the men's restroom and took the "Press" sign from something like the towel dispensers. Each Stooge grabs a sticker and put it in his wallet. Then they each pass through security while displaying their passes:
Press
Press
Pull

I must have thought that was freaking hilarious when I was 8 or so because it's about the only joke I remember from them.

Because of this,... TIL that googling "curly whoop whoop whoop" actually brings up relevant video clips.

I'm not 100% sure since I cannot see his face, but I think this little bastard is a notorious thief. But you know, innocent until proven otherwise. We must respect his privacy until then.

He's a typical jailbird.

And when interrogated he was singing like a bird.

How do I know that photo was likely taken in Luxembourg?

To avoid offending any Dutchs that jump when anyone says Holland to refer to The Netherlands. Though don't remember any Dutch referring to themselves as " Netherlandese".

Nope. I'd bet someone in Nederland just used a photo taken in Luxembourg.
