If you can figure out how to use a condom in the dark and tie your own shoes in the light, you qualify for a High School diploma.

I recall in high school a friend was going to her grandparent’s farm in New York. I thought New York was one big city named New York. I told my dad and he just shook his head at me.

Obama told us they speak Austrian in Austria. My guess, using Obama Think, is they speak Australian in Australia.

On the eve of Alaska's statehood, news commentator Walter Wendell Snitchell interviews the governor of Texas about the fact that his state will no longer be the largest. Most of the tunes featured here are by George Jones.

This is sad beyond belief.

If she ever looked closely at the outline of Alaska, she would see the eastern side is a fairly straight line. How many islands have straight borders?

I thought it was a glacier that carved that perfectly straight border.
