5 things you find/hear in a yoga class that you shouldn’t:

1. Mirrors (Ego?)

2. Aggro yelling of “Get into it!!!”

3. Lyrics that contain the word “asshole”

4. A bagpiped version of “Amazing Grace”

5. Ghost moans

Goose: (eye roll) You’re such a duck sometimes.

I have a bone to pick with you, lettuce. You brown too quickly.

Wait. That doesn’t sound quite right. Let me try again.

I have a leaf to pick with you, lettuce. You brown too quickly.

At least I know what I’m getting if I decide to date you, weather.

Puberty would be a lot more
