A elderly woman is in department store lift when the door opens and two younger, well-off looking women step in.

The other woman back to her: “Smell this, Chanel No. 5, $60/oz.”
The elderly woman then farts and says, “Smell that! Brussel sprouts, $2.50/lb!”
Jeez, Ed. Grow up!

Enjoying a deer-hunting trip, doing it wrong! At least three deer hunters in Michigan have died from heart attacks this hunting season. The act of deer hunting typically involves hiking to a tree stand or blind, waiting in the cold for hours and then dealing with a sudden surge of adrenaline when a deer is spotted. Once a hunter hits the deer, they have to track the deer, often for a long distance over rugged terrain.

The DeGeneres source told the outlet that Trump’s re-election had inspired the couple’s decision to jump ship. (Finally! Someone who said they would leave the country based upon election results and actually did it!)

If men are from Mars and women are from Venus, I assume those other “genders” were pulled out of Uranus? (Uh oh, that might offend someone…)
You locals, stay home today and build your thirst for tomorrow as I’ll be serving on Saturday this weekend.
