Some comments from the original post:
@Strob “No one knows why schools of babies beach themselves along this stretch of coast.”
@Rev Phnk Ey “Quick, gather a bunch of people and push them back in.”
@Call Me Ishmael “No baby expects the Spanish Inquisition…=)”
@juncarlo “I am sure that my contact lens fell here.”
@rmremail “Yes, Irma, that’s where babies come from.”
