\*\* How to help my fiance with body issues?  
I’m getting married in 4 days! Advice?\*\*

This is probably **not** the time to bring up the “4 Day Belly Fat Eliminator” crash diet.

**So I’m getting an MRI tomorrow  
Rabbits are useful**

Yes, I always bring one along and have them run the rabbit through the MRI first. If it comes out fried to a crisp, I ask them to recalibrate the settings.

\*\*Would you be a good time traveler?

George Washington’s Overdue Library Book Returned 221 years late \*\*

Well, yeah, I would! For starters, he’s the father of our country! He _deserves_ to have his library books always returned on time (he never told a lie, y’know!) so if I have a time machine, it’s my God-given duty as a patriotic American to restore the good name of our first President!

With Liberty and Justice for all.

Amen.

**Escalator Question  
If all motion stopped, would time have any meaning?**

No. That’s why I never take escalators, they could suddenly stop and you’d be transported into the fourth dimension.

What do I need to know about installing a Hard-drive?**

Insert the drive into one of the slots intended for that purpose. Don’t worry if you’ve never done it before, you’ll know said slots when you see them. Give it some power, turn the computer on, and you’ll be up and running.

**What IS BBQ?  
A List of “Answer” Songs**

How about these (first, from Alo)?

_Welcome to your barbeque  
Where we roast all the dreams  
That never came true…  
Pig out and dream anew_

Or, a bit more graphic (“Barbecue”, by Mortician):

_Hammer smashes in your head  
Gutted corpse lying dead  
Body parts in the stew  
Hacked up for barbecue_

Uh, I’ll have the veggie plate, thanks just the same.
