Thanks for making me giggle. This really is an improvement over the whole Star Wars joke! Two of those and I think you would have been in serious trouble with the bad joke police, AKA Tamara, who btw, has put an end to SAP.
I mean, those are some pretty good tips. When I put in my application to be the human cannonball, I may use some of those. My photo in a cheer uniform. A letter from my mom. My sister never won a strawberry eating contest but my brother lost to a girl in the MTC in a corn dog eating contest. And I'd prefer not to talk about my police record.
Th Star Wars joke was hilarious and all y'all know it. You're just in denial...
I gotta tell Dale about that one. He'll get a kick out of it!
