Great lines!:rofl:
I once knew a guy who went to Egypt and fell in the river, but then he claimed he didn't (he was in denial).

Very nice!!

I used to have this book called, "The Joy of Lex". If you love wordplay and are a Lexophile, you should see if you can get it.....I'm still trying to find another copy. Mine has disappeared.

One thing I remember from the book was off of a gravestone in Boot Hill (supposedly):

"Here lies the body of Lester Moore,
who took four slugs from a .44.
No Les, no more."

Hehe

Peace--
