Do you have HLN (hyperplastic liver nodules)? Or ABC (aneurysmal bone cysts)?

Simpsonfan2….ha, ha, ha. Good one. Same for those Housewives of Atlanta.

As telemarketers, I guess the Nobel family bombed.Later, they did well as opera commentators, since they know bel canto.

This one’s kind of silly.

They hired his uncle Sam to push the USA network.

“‘Cause I’m TNT, I’m dynamite”

I guess this is what you get when cartoonists get writer’s block.

Boy that blew up in their faces.

TNT = Totally Nuts Televsion. No wonder she misses it.

Not to nitpick (well, exactly to nitpick, actually) TNT and dynamite are different compounds. He’s describing dynamite; TNT is trinitrotoluene, a different explosive.

first day at the new job and he bombed big time.

But Alfred Nobel died childless.

“please press # for our engineering department…. hello…HELLO?..”

what a blast!

Don’t hire anybody who thinks TNT is the same as dynamite. He’s an idiot. (They’re both explosives, but that’s the only similarity. TNT does not contain nitroglycerin, was not invented by Nobel, etc.)

“We hereby give you the coveted Tri-NitroToluene Award! Here, I’ll light it so you can get the full effect…”

“Spaced Invaders” was sheer genius, except when a human was on-camera.
