Technically it’s the Gulf of Cuba, USA, & Mexico so for the purposes of inclusiveness may I suggest….

The Gulf of C.U.M.

When a corvid remembers people who wronged them and holds a grudge, it’s “intelligent” and “really cool”, but when I do it, I’m “petty” and “should just let it go”.

You can take the ladder or the stairs.

I recommend the latter.

Them: Were you named after your father?

Me: When else?

The trouble with getting to work on time is that it makes the day so long.

Canadian graffiti.

What borders on stupidity?

Mexico and Canada.

Knock, knock.

Who’s there?

Hike.

Hike who?

Unsuspecting child,
Dad waiting with baited breath,
Sets the perfect trap.

Them: What’s your star sign?

Me: Dragonfly.

Them: That’s not a real star sign.

Me: None of them are.

Glinda dropped Dorothy's house on the Wicked Witch of the East, not the tornado, and uses Dorothy to gain control of Oz.

One of the first things Glinda tells Dorothy is that SHE killed the witch. They praise her so she'll accept it, and when the Witch of the West comes along, who killed her sister?

Dorothy.

Glinda then puts the ruby slippers on Dorothy's feet but does not tell her that she can use them to go home. Instead she sends Dorothy to Oz in possession of objects that a witch would murder her for.

Dorothy, being forced into a situation where her only salvation is Oz and her worst enemy is the queen, inadvertently exposes the Wizard of Oz as a fraud and murders the Witch of the West.

Now who's left to rule Oz? Glinda fuckin' witch of the North. She used Dorothy as an expendable pawn to gain control of Oz without having to leave her bubble. And when Dorothy is done upheaving the two biggest powers in Oz, Glinda sends her home and makes her think it was all a dream!

The United States provides the best high school education in the world.

It’s too bad you have to go to college to get it.

I’m starting to get the impression that Meta and LinkedIn are just bots posting and commenting to each other.

Interviewer: So, tell me a bit about yourself.

Me: I’d rather not. I really need this job.
