1. What stops being cute after the age of 13?
Bed Wetting

I used to think that Holland and the Netherlands were different places. Hell is worse than that – I didn’t realize this misinterpretation until I was in my mid-30s.

3. If someone leaves an abandoned baby on your front porch what will you do?
Call the cops and Child Welfare Services – I am not a father figure – jeesh that would be a disaster.

4. What two types of people are there?
Those who have seen Springsteen live and those who have not. Those who have, understand. The Boss abides.

Give back change in that cool count back out way – and do basic maths in their heads.

  2. 1) Yelling for someone in a public place.
