C’mon! This is probably the best speech I ever wrote, but nobody knows where that place Gettysburg is?

I think we can not ask for KFC, Colonel Sanders is from the South.

Thanks to anyone who helped end my banning!!

Well, o.k., I’ll sign for the pizza, cheapskates!

Anybody heard anything about that new play down at Ford’s Theater? “Our American Cousin” or something.

What a bunch of Gloomy Guses!

Dude obviously held stock in the black paint industry.

You know, I’m pretty sure this isn’t going to go over well.
