Food Joke

Some daze I just can't seem to focus. Old people shouldn't eat health foods. They need all the preservatives they can get A plastic surgeon's office the only place where no one gets offended when you pick your nose! I used to go to an origami class, until it folded. Today everyone wants instant gratification, no matter how long it takes. If a parsley farmer is sued, can they garnish his wages? You can lead a horse to water, but, a pencil must be lead. For Rent: 6 room hated apartment. You have two choices in life: you can stay single and be miserable, or get married and wish you were dead. Have you heard that Revlon and Maibelene have agreed to make-up. Every morning is the dawn of a new error.
