          I’ve studied laws like that for the better part of 25 years and I’ve formulated this new law ointment I’d like to call Lawinment2.0! IRS available at Walmart for $17.75! And the shipping is free because its a download. Just pay as you normally would thru Walmart pay and then head on over to laws.com and receive your free gift! And if you pay thru laws.com to receive a free 5% offer on an additional law you’ll also receive this custom deluxe gorme designer bag gift pin retainer. Its our way of saying thank you! And thank you George Carling for this fine comedy bit.

          Best I can do is legalizing corruption and then spend billion dollars on public programs explaining how lobbying helps the people, not capitalism

          No, more like telling 35 different women 35 different fake birthdays so they get you some nice gifts while they’re all under the impression that they’re your only girlfriend. Nothing like wearing make up, you silly, woman hating, goose! Xoxo
