The water? Oh, the roof leaked.

|
|||

up with his bleak and demeaning lifestyle.

Scene: There is a dead man in a cage surrounded by 51 cats, an

|
|
overturned table, and an empty gun. What happened?

Scene: A man goes into a restaurant and orders some albatross. After

some delay, the food arrives. He takes a taste, and then

kills himself. Why?
|
|||
|
|
Answer: Obviously a whacko. I mean, who orders ALBATROSS in a
|
|||
|
|
restaurant?! I say "good riddance to bad garbage!"
