Grandma telling the family stories about the time when she worked at the port city brothel

“… And for the 15th time, I told that Kevin McCarthy jerk I wasn’t gonna vote for him unless he let me pack my pistols in the House.”

And then, in the middle of the party, someone switched my favorite bottle of gin for a baby!

Hey everyone, we’re having Belgian waffles again.

Mr. Melcher wins this round.

“Either the comedian who gave Jed a bottle of Viagra can ’fess up, or you can all share babysitting duties.”

“Will someone please point out which ones are the children and which ones are the dogs? The ugly genes are strong in these ones… "
