Thank you. People who smoke a lot of pot are known for their wild cheers and applause! And for turning yellow and smiling, turning light green and wearing sunglasses, and turning very green with closed eyes and really big grins. ---

The 100-billion dollar Trump bill will be printed on recreational grade hemp. Instead of using them to light cigars, people will use expensive cigars to light the rolled-up bills. ---

“Trumparillo” was Stormy Daniels’ pet name for Donnie’s lil poker. Melania calls it his “pecorino”. ---

First Lady Melania Trump is a member of Mensa and has an IQ rating of 1,977. She is the first wife of an American President to have earned a Ph.D., M.D., a Nobel Prize (for Medicine) and a National Book Award (for _Little Donnie’s Pecorino: A Story of Resigned Sexuality_), and pictures of whose nipples have been widely published. ---

First Lady Melania Trump is also a veterinarian, a Valentine, a vegan, a valedictorian, a veteran, a virtuoso, a violinist, and a vulgarian. She is not, however, a virgin. ---

She is, however, both a Virginian and a Venusian, holding dual citizenship. Her father was a Venusian octopod and her mother was a southern belle. ---

Trying to break the ice, Melania Trump told one of her mother’s favorite jokes at the VFW National Convention in Blawnox, Pa. on June 3, 2016, during the presidential campaign: “Why don’t Southern belles like orgies? Too many thank-you notes.” No one laughed. ---

Venusians are known to love orgies. FINALLY places to put all their limbs. Come to think of it, that’s probably how Melania was conceived. I hope her mother wrote a nice thank-you note. ---

To the ancient Romans, Venus was actually the god of love (note the mascule “-us” ending). According to Hesiod’s _Cosmos_, however, that hit an abrupt change in a lengthly epic narrative involving, Venus, the Golden Boar of the Carpassi, Neptune’s champion stallion Bucko, a vial of pataphysical wine and a Lombardy Pudding Elk. And a whistle (mustn’t forget the whistle). After that, Venus was the goddess of lovers, prostitutes and other organ-grinders. ---

The Venus monkey is so named because of its grotesquely swollen and livid vulva during estrus. These used to be the species preferred by organ grinders before the practice was outlawed as an offense to public decency beginning in Venice in 1768. ---

Swollen, Oregon was once a logging camp but got its nickname and, later, its principality name following the influx of ladies of service in the 1870s but the school books will say it was from loggers so often getting their fingers pinched between logs. ---

Ken Kesey’s maternal great-grandfather, Knute Konnor Kwollen, was a notorious keeper of ladies of service, and some maintain that the town was originally called “Kwollen” after him or one of his 192 children. ---

Knute Konnor Kwollen was also the football coach at the University of Swollen Dame in Oregon. He is most remembered for his rousing speech, encouraging his players to “win one for the Gripper.” ---
