Haha, I love the “Unknown, presumed deceased” on number 19. It feels probable.
Here’s a sensible observation from Jack Handey:
“If you were a poor Indian with no weapons, and a bunch of conquistadors came up to you and asked where the gold was, I don’t think it would be a good idea to say, “I swallowed it. So sue me.”"

As far as I can tell, the only difference between Parliament and congress is that the former has a cool accent and the later has fewer insulting, pithy arguments with each other . . .

wow! “it’s not parliament it’s congress” no wonder people hate americans. It’s people like you who make them all look bad. It’s called DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE WORLD. Britain and Canada (you know that country to the north that is bigger than you) ya they have PARLIAMENT (along with many other countries) in fact more have a parliament than a congress. get over yourself.

Think, then speak.
