“That is how we ended up with larger, less aggressive mice that reproduce at a younger age and are less particular when it comes to choosing a mate.”

The mice are overweight and screw indiscriminately. Sounds like we’ve “Americanized” them.

Mickey Mouse is in the process of divorcing Minnie Mouse.

As they sit in the courtroom, the judge says to Mickey, “Mr. Mouse, you claim the reason for your divorce is primarily based on the fact that your wife is crazy?”

Mickey responds, “No, I didn’t say she was crazy, I said she was f_ _ _ n Goofy!”

Well, the disease has spread well beyond the ghettos by now, so I didn’t want to limit my comparison.

When I go stop by the grocery store on my lunch break, it’s not African-Americans clogging up the aisles in the middle of the day paying for junk food with their EBT cards while trailing a brood of illegitimate kids behind them, no sir.
