They were mostly bald jokes about William.
I'd like to read those jokes.
A Maryland girl found a 15 million year old Megalodon tooth on the beach.
It was hidden under a stack of classified White House documents, I believe.
You know, since 1965, housing prices have increased by 118% while wages have only increased
by 15%.
And now you have a fun fact to share with your five or six roommates.

So great news for anyone who wants an affordable electric car and the chance to support a terrifying supervillain.

Now that's Nick Cannon's job.
Cocaine Bear, you remember that movie?
Cocaine Bear made $23 million at the box office over the opening weekend.
And many parts of the country, including Southern California, had record snowfall.
So it was a huge weekend for a white powder, I guess you could say.

Yoko Ono has left New York City after 50 years.
In totally unrelated news, noise pollution levels in New York City are at record lows.

Most of its employees are former shoppers who just got lost in the aisles and never found the exit.
There's a theater in Montclair, New Jersey, hosting Bring Your Own Baby, Matt and A's.

However, however, you still can't bring your own food or beverage.
It makes no sense.
Aaron Rodgers, remember what Aaron Rodgers was doing at the beginning of the year?
Four-day darkness retreat.

to stop breaking her furniture.

Tough Acton, Tenakton.

But with a little effort, most families are confident they can get that down to about four hours.

hit
and
runs?

Rod.
Yeah,
there you go.
That's all
I got.
What's
been going on throughout the year?
Stop the presses.
Imagine
the
headlines.
What headlines are we talking about?

What kind of headline is that?
We'll hit and run
and hit and run and be gone before they know what hit down.

Westheimer, she's still around.
I know, I know.
She's been named New York State's honorary ambassador to loneliness.
Kind of ironic for a woman who's spent like, I don't know, eight decades encouraging us to take part in...
Uh, boy, how should I say this?
Uh, loan-rangering?
You know what I mean?
But not necessarily a loan in a small studio with a plastic fork.
I'd like to make that perfectly clear.

But then who wouldn't ask for help from Jesus before flying Delta?
