Hello all! I may have the wrong terminology, but I am imploring upon The Teeming Millions to help expand my personal vernacular. I work in construction, so the naughty ones are more than welcome! I am actually seeking the baudy and the poetic. The nice ones are welcome as well! I’m seeking ways to say yes such as: Does a bear shit in the woods? Does a duck with a boner drag weeds? Does the Tin Man have a sheet metal cock? Und et cetera. Please give your best! (Ahem, worst!) ---

Is a bear Catholic? Would a bear eat the Pope as the body of Christ? Would a bear then shit the Pope out in the woods? ---
