The South has a grocery store called Piggly Wiggly and every human being there says it with a completely straight face.

I laughed once.

A grandmother named Ruth turned and looked at me exactly the way my old sword instructor used to.

I apologized to Ruth. Then I apologized to the cashier. Then I apologized, for reasons I still cannot explain, to a display of canned peaches.

Ruth said "That's alright, sugar, you're new."

I can now say Piggly Wiggly in the voice a man uses to announce a castle.

Ruth has heard it. Ruth nodded.

By far the funniest moment in Homer’s Odyssey is when Circe says, “Shall we have sex?” and Odysseus says, “You just turned all my men into pigs. You have the GALL to think I would sleep with you? Of course I will. Absolutely. But don’t do any weird spells”

Based on that speech, I’m thinking.…I really should have listened to every Iraqi who told me if I paid them they would show me where the yellow cake was hidden.

@RonFilipkowski They think that just means he's just the kind of smart business man we need. Ethics be damned. That's only for Democrats.

@SenTuberville Did you vote against unanimous consent?

@HvitaUlfrinn @DLoesch @FreddyLA7 Just the a$$.

@SouthernKeeks He bought the ticket for that ride.

@aldotcom Get some decent candidates. It doesn't matter who you vote for, because none of them are more than slogan deep and just two sides of the same worthless coin.

@NotHoodlum @RonFilipkowski I remember when Sharia was a scary thing that was definitely going to happen if we don't stop it back in the Obama admin. Whenever they don't have anything positive, they drag up the same old scare tactics.

@RepublicanStudy How can one possibly know there have been no illegal border crossings? You know they don't show up at border crossings and say, I'd like to cross illegally, right?

@RyanMason149224 @mccaffreyr3 @markomihkelson I was on a planning trip for a joint training event between my FA BDE and a UK ADA BDE in Feb 2002. My Col asked their Brigadier what he thought the Brits would do (post 9/11). "We're just waiting to see what you do. We'll be with you."

@svdate And it obviously leaked from the administration, not Congress belying the common administration excuse for not briefing Congress.
