My doctor wrote me a prescription for daily sex.

My wife insists that it says dyslexia but what does she know.

Hey, Gus is merely following in the steps of Sam Adams and all the other Sons of Liberty who threw tea into Boston Harbor.

Anyone know if the shipowners and crews ever got compensated for losing their cargoes to Red Indians?

It would be a very generous, altruistic thing to do.
C'mon, Gus, next time we need help against those Canadistannis, the brits might be nice and help?
Look how we helped against Kaiser Bill, and those National Socialists.

The last time we got into it with the Canadians it didn't end well and the way the Brits helped was to burn DC!!

Well, the brits are learning and changing.  It just takes them a bit longer.
After all they burned Joan of Arc at the stake.
They never burned George Washington at the stake, just the city named for him.
That's progress.  (Of course, if they had captured him the temptation might have been overwhelming.)

Actually, I think that technically we baked Joan of Arc, as she was wearing armour at the time. Anyway, we're pretty much vegitarians now, due to the bacon shortage.

...and steak is far too expensive here, so we couldn't tie her to one of those, 'spect we'd have to tie her to a carrot or stick of rhubarb now. Something healthy, anyway.

Well, not for her, obviously.......
