Well, I’ve always said, “It’s better to pick your nose than get one at random !”  
Actually, I really _do_ say that. 🙂

Well, such advice certainly isn’t anything to sneeze at.

Woah, partner. For that, I’ll need to give you $10.87. Do you take bad checks?

As long as they’re only wanted for misdemeanors then sure! But I’ll need two pieces of photo ID, a nude picture of your wife (or if you don’t have one, someone else’s wife), and you’ll need Newt Gingrich to vouch for you. Sore policy, you understand.

Yes can do on all but the picture of someone else’s nude wife. I keep trying, but the cops keep showing up, and then it’s goodbye bushes.

You know, nothing says “master of disguise” like a new bum. Perhaps you should visit our rental counter…
