In The Beginning...

primitive hunterHuman beings used to actually go out and look for the items necessary for survival. Men would go out and hunt (Golf hadn't been invented yet), while the women would take care of the home and dream of a future where some weight challenged woman on a TV Talk show would tell them what books to read ( Hint: Harpo backwards spells what?)

  • You're not doing anything wrong until you get caught.
  • My fake plants died because I did not pretend to water them.
  • Honesty is the key to a relationship. If you can fake that, you're in.
  • If Milli Vanilli fell in the woods, would someone else make a sound?
