ReplyDeleteMy stepdaughter had to do a school report on euthanasia, which I helped her research. Boy, we had some interesting dinner conversations while she did that one.
Have you seen The Onion Movie? If you haven't, you need to check it out. Like the old Kentucky Fried Movie, but even smarter and funnier.
