Went to lunch with a friend today to a new chicken place.
We asked how they prepare their chickens.
The answer was, "We just tell them they're going to die." 

   I saw in the paper the other day that there's a serious shortage of
   men in Washington DC. I commented on this fact to my wife and told her
   I might just go there. I added that the article said that men could
   earn $50 a nite easily as a gigolo.
   
   She smiled and said, "And exactly how do you intend to live on $200 a
   month ?"
