I’m suing god for making apple trees, which inspired the company to call itself apple who then allowed porn to be seen which made that guy sue them, prompting all of us to know about the moron.

I hope he’s successful, because then I’ll turn around & sue them for blocking my access to porn. Err, ahh, hypothetically, I mean. Yeah, yeah, that’s the ticket; hypothetical porn searches! 😉 ---
