Why do people always assume their ancestors fought instead of struggling to grow turnips on a baron’s lands?

To snort it. Some things never change.

Because the top is wider and they wouldn’t fit.

It’s figuring out how something works out or is manufactured from the finished product, possibly including dismantling it to do so.

What’s the context to this one?

Ohmigawd it’s like they don’t even realise they’re doing that!

Hon hon honning intensifies

It comes in pints?

Thanks for helping re-elect Thatcher, Argentine junta! Or should I say Henry Kissinger for backing them in the first place to win back US access to oil?

Which oblast was that?

And yet I managed to deliver over 200 newspapers in the snow when I were a lad, using a plastic sled.

Uranus is an aggregation of matter.

Am I allowed to say “outshone”?

Once you invite an MBA in you can never uninvite them…
