Does the length of ‘in a minute’ depend on which side of the bathroom door you’re on? If money doesn’t grow on trees then why do banks have branches? If a 911 operator has a heart attack, whom does he/she call? Why do you have to “put your two cents…

I ventured into a local bakery, carefully examining all the rich looking pastries displayed on trays in the glass cases.

[Bill & Beth SAY they like good puns. Then they sent me these to use on the Grif.Net blog. Words do not always match action, methinks.] Flags in July are the decoration of independence. Have you been impacted? The tooth always hurts. I looked at the Rorschach test, but had…
