Best of the morning after
“Maybe the Cubans were jamming the signal.”
“Add another $429 to Jerry's total.”
“She bought me some new panties and she's laying them out for me!"”
“It happened....we've transitioned to "Happy Days" as many of us feared...”
“By far the best part was when Jerry called her and she was shaking the pencil and she tells Jerry "I've got a rubber pencil thing going here".”
“It's abnormal, but not obscene.".....G.C.”
