There has to be a TFOA report somewhere... (things falling off/out aircraft...)

The last time I golfed I only hit two good balls all day. ...and THAT was when I stepped on a rake in the sand trap.

I haven't spoken to my wife in over three months...we're not fighting, I just don't like to interrupt.

Tomatoes were once known as Love Apples, or more sonorously by the French as Pommes d'Amour.
