Sno,,,,come to my rescue [I'm calling in a marker for helping you],,,,,,,these Missouri hillbillies are attacking me! Here's another one for my Missou buddies:
"Most dust particles in your house are made from dead skin." Wrong! In Missou,,,,that is caused by dead as$es,,not dead skin!

"**Dentists have recommended that a toothbrush be kept at least 6 feet away from a toilet to avoid airborne particles resulting from the flush." ** Missouri POA guys leave their toothbrush "in" the toilet bowl, when not in use, to provide them with a fresher breath and a browner smile

Gray Ghost - After forty years as a Husker fan,,,,I threw in the towel after they hired Frank Solich as head coach,,after Dr.Tom retired. I knew Solich from my high school days and know he was a 'token' head coach choice. He got fired not for losing games,,,,he got his young, office secretary pregnant [in Missou, he would have gotten a pay raise]. Now the new coach, from the Raiders organization with his west coast offense plan,,,,complete failure. Its the end of the world,,,I tell ya,,,,Rick Beyes in St. Louis is watering at the bit for the Tigers to whip up on the Huskers, lol.

...just moments after this picture was taken, Alley Cats pet turtle, Allen, became choked on the hot dog little AC was feeding him....quick to the rescue, AC performed "mouth to a$$" on the turtle and blew the hotdog all the way across the street...later, with brown lips and a big smile AC and Allen headed home for a romantic evening listening to Perry Como records and sipping grape Kool-Ade...

That is because we Missourians haven't learned to breath thru our butts yet. (Unlike a turtle) (or AC)!!!!LOL
