sometimes I speak to groups

While Doug can talk for days without stopping to take a breath, I am a very nervous public speaker. A group of people staring at me makes it hard to focus on the topic at hand when my mind is asking stupid questions like “Is there a sesame seed in my teeth?” I also have […]

so wrong and so funny

Visit this site.  Flip through the archives and pick your favorite.  #62 is pretty accurate, but I’m hungry so I’m in a #63 mood.  Which one made you snicker inappropriately?
