My state has embarrassed me again

I left all my possessions behind. I got on my horse and rode the hell out of this state to a neighboring one. Fingers crossed it doesn't embarrass me too.

Of course if you're never told then you don't have to worry about telling anyone else.

No, no, no, I meant the sort of cock that's the opposite of hen! Geez, get your minds out of the gutter, people.

Doctors should tell patients what their problem is


Yeah, I guess you're right. I just though that it would be hilarious if I didn't say anything and he just dropped dead in his office.
