Food Joke

1. Nodding and looking at your watch would be deemed an acceptable response to "I love you." 2. Hallmark would make "Sorry, what was your name again?" cards. 3. When your girlfriend really needed to talk to you during the game, she would appear in a little box in the corner of the screen during a half time. 4. Breaking up would be a lot easier. A smack to the bum would pretty much do it. 5. Birth control would come in ale or lager. 6. The funniest guy in the office would get to be CEO. 7. "Sorry I'm late, but I got hammered last night" would be an acceptable excuse for tardiness. 8. It'd be considered harmless fun to gather 30 friends, put on horned helmets, and go pillage a nearby town. 9. Lifeguards could remove citizens from beaches for violating the "public ugliness" ordinance. 10. Tanks would be far easier to rent. 11. Instead of a beer belly, you'd get "beer biceps." 12. Instead of an expensive engagement ring, you could present your wife-to-be with a giant foam hand that said, "You're #1!" 13.

When a cop gave you a ticket, every smart-alec answer you responded with would actually reduce your fine. As in: Cop: "You know how fast you were going?" You: "All I know is, I was spilling my beer all over the place." Cop: "Nice one. That's $10 off." 21. Daisy Duke shorts would never again go out of style. 22.
