I’d make a snarky comment here about my Ex-Husband...but that would be TOO easy, LOL!

The folks at Geico must be feeling really bad about now.

[EggsAckley]

Ewwww, Diana! You just took the words off my fingertips!

This could end the, “So easy a Neanderthal could do it” commercial series before it starts.

GOP ad: Neanderthals........smarter than Democrats.

What? When were you married to him? I had him from ‘85-’92, LOL!

Feh! We’re ALL married to the same ‘man.’ They just change their hair and eye color to temporarily fool us. ;)

You mistake my use of the term “islamderthal” for my use of the term “neanderthal”. And yes, islamderthals are half wits.

‘We’ didn’t wear the makeup, we made it for our wives to look good.

The jewelry was for our mistresses so they didn’t feel left out on holidays.

As it turns out, these early Vikings fans were bilingual,
enjoyed a good brandy and Cuban cigar... we just don’t give
them credit!

Those Neander boys really new how to party...

[Rocky]

Poor caveman. He’s not making much progress with his analyst.

[Fichori]

I’ve been called lots of things, but I don’t remember ‘half-wit’ being one of them.

Oh well.

He actually had a larger brain than Homo sapiens. It averaged around 1600 cc versus Homo sapien’s average of 1350 cc.
