Sorry, that burger looks a little too well done for my tastes. I prefer when it moos on my plate.

Now that’s a classy way to dispose of a body. When I shuffle off this mortal coil, I hope they’ll cremate me in a sarcophagus shaped like a bull. Or George Burns’ head. Either one.

Except for the Vikings and Dr. Thompson, whitey never knew how to go out in style.
