Talk about a huge breast!
Tying the legs together keeps the inside moist.
It’s Cool Whip time!
If I don’t undo my pants, I’ll burst!
Whew, that’s one terri­fic spread!
I’m in the mood for a little dark meat.
Are you ready for seconds yet?
It’s a little dry, do you still want to eat it?
Just wait your turn, you’ll get some!
Don’t play with your meat.
Just spread the legs open and stuff it in.
Do you think you’ll be able to handle all these peo­ple at once?
I didn’t expect ever­yone to come at once!
You still have a little bit on your chin.
How long will it take after you stick it in?
You’ll know it’s ready when it pops up.
Wow, I didn’t think I could handle all of that!
That’s the big­gest one I’ve ever seen!
How long do I beat it before it’s ready?

He/she was a diplo­mat, spy, dra­goon offi­cer, swords­man, lady-in-waiting, chess pla­yer, and part-time nun.  In the 1760s a total of $230,000 was said to have been wage­red on the sex of d’Eon.  A dis­pute over the bet ended up in court with a judge ruling that d’Eon was a woman.  Upon her demise in 1810, the doc­tor who cer­ti­fied her death pro­noun­ced him to be a male.

He for­bade sol­diers from wea­ring beards because they were too easy to grab a hold of during a fight.  The king often slept until noon, could not swim, and named a town after his favo­rite dog, “Peri­tas”.  Luc­kily he didn’t name his dog “Skippy”.  “Where do you live?”  “300 Main street in Skippy.”

In 1963, Buss recei­ved a doc­to­rate from MIT for his the­sis on orbi­tal mecha­nics.  He got the nick­name “Buzz” from his little sis­ter who couldn’t say “Brother”, but ins­tead called him “Buz­zer”.  I am glad his sis­ter didn’t say something else, because “But­ter” Aldrin doesn’t have a ring to it.
