I was lying in bed with my girlfriend this morning, and she said, “ **Scrappy** , I think you’re a pedophile.” I said, “PEDOPHILE?

Doorbell rang the other day, answered the door and there was a delivery boy there with two dozen roses. The card said, “Love, from your boyfriend Ernie.” I was having tea with my girlfriend Carmelita. I said, “Carmelita, do you know what this means? For the next two weeks I’m gonna be flat on my back with my legs in the air.” Carmelita says to me, “What’s the matter, Eve, ain’t you got a vase?” ---
